problems partitioning HD

[notelliot]

i just got a new mac this week, and i'm really new to leopard (not 100% on it yet). anyway, i need to make an 80 gig partition on my hard drive to run lightroom and photoshop. i had it all set up the way i wanted, and clicked apply, it seemed to start the partition. it didn't progress at all for an hour, so i slept on it, but woke up to my computer being off. there's no partition on my HD, and trying again i get the same thing spare the shutdown.

should i just call apple?


oh yeah, move this if in wrong forum
