Hello.
Mac OS (Mountain Lion v10.8.5 & Sierra v10.12.1)'s Disk Utility won't
let me resize 2 existing partitions (FAT32 [datas and sharing with other
OSes like Windows] & encrypted HFS+ [Time Machine + other datas]). I
wanted to make its FAT32 partition smaller & HFS+ partition bigger
without losing data, redoing from scratch, etc. It doesn't seem to let
me. Does its Disk Utility not let me do that like in Linux and Windows?
:(
Thank you in advance. :)
