Jan 22, 2015 7:42 PM in response to krcurrierby Kappy,Open Disk Utility, click on the GB Apple SSD device in the sidebar and click on the Partition tab in the main window. Click on the topmost partition in the map then click on the Add [+] button to create a new volume. Click on the Apply button.
Use Carbon Copy Cloner 4.0.5 to clone the OS X volume to the newly created volume. When completed open Startup Disk preferences. Click on the new volume entry then click on the Restart button. Once running from the newly made clone you can now open Disk Utility, click in the old OS X partition then click on the Delete [-] button to remove it. You can now drag the top partition down to fill the empty space. Click on the Carbon Copy Cloner 4.0.5 button.

You are moving your OS around when you do this. You may want to take a backup before you begin - if anything goes wrong you have a way recover. Time Machine is OK, but a bootable copy is better. Carbon Copy Cloner will also do that for you, make one to an external disk to be safe.

Jan 23, 2015 5:23 PM in response to Kappyby krcurrier,I noticed on the page for the Carbon Copy Cloner that it requires OS X 10.8 or later. Does this mean it will not work for my version (10.7.5)?
