Redistributing Free Space in Boot Camp

1. Start up Mac OS X.

2. Launch Camptune X. If you’re running the product on Mac OS X El Capitan where the System Integrity

Protection (SIP) is enabled, which is on by default, you’ll be prompted to create a special boot media to do
redistribution of free space from it (see the Creating Boot Media section). Alternatively, you can switch off
SIP and do redistribution directly in Mac OS X (see the Disabling SIP section). By clicking the Learn More…
button you can read an article on this issue in our Knowledge Base.

3. The welcome page introduces the product’s functionality. Please click Continue.

4. As the next step you are to provide a password of a user with the administrator privilege.

5. When done, your system will be scanned for a Boot Camp configuration.
