I have a late 2008 Macbook pro with el capitan. I have been trying to resize the HD, and partition it in order to install another operating system for dual booting. I used Disk Utility to first reduce the existing partition as it was occupying the entire volume, which left an unnamed volume as a second partition. When I reboot and try CMD+R for Recovery Mode I get an error. If I check the disk volumes in the terminal window it appears that the Recovery disk is there with 650MB.
I have tried this multiple times by first doing a clean install of el capitan, and then testing CMD+R prior to resizing the disk, and this works fine. Once I resize the drive to create the new partition CMD+R always gives me the same error.
Is there another way to resize the drive to ensure Recovery Mode still functions?
Thanks for your help.
