Chosen Solution
I was hoping to copy the content of a 500Gb HDD onto a 500Gb SSD drive, using disc utility on a Snow Leopard OX. I intended to format the new SSD to Guide Partition Table, but I got distracted and accidentally partitioned the drive which was supposed to be my source. Is there any way to recover from this mega blunder?
Sure, just use Disk Utility and set it to one partition when you reformat it
