Learn this character: "." It's called a period. It helps people understand what the heck you're writing.

Maybe some more information about what exactly you did would help. You're saying you have three separate partitions? What is on each of them? Did you do a reinstall and wipe the whole drive? More details, more periods, and less spastic run-on sentences would really help us help you.

If I understand correctly, just repartition with disk utility from your Tiger CD. This WILL wipe your hard drive though, so backup first.

But it is always easier to undertsand your point and help you if you are a bit less messy

If you don't care losing your data, my solution will still work though.

Also i used the restore disks and reinstalled Tiger this did not help the drive situation know i am missing some hard drive space i have a 160 gig its showing i have 120 gig were did the other 40 gigs go? I am very Frustrated! I know Tiger does not eat up 40 gig hard drive space.
