Changing Case-Sensitivity in OS X Filesystem

    Hey Guys,


    Recently I had to reinstall OS X 10.5 on my MacBook Pro as it was getting a bit too bogged down for my likeing and was starting to slow down.


    Anywho.. after a few weeks of getting everything installed again, I realised that I hadn't installed Photoshop yet so I set about doing so, only to be greeted by an error message saying that it couldn't be installed on my filesystem.

    When I investigated this, I found that this is because I enabled case sensitivity on the FS when I was installing Leopard. I've used linux for years and this seemed like an obvious option to enable at first.

    However it appears that for some reason Adobe won't support case sensitive FS's and so I'm stuck being unable to install.

    So I was wondering if anyone knew of anyway to change the case sensitivity of my FS without having to reinstall everything yet again.

    Thanks

    Chris

    clone drive to external, wipe & clone back over (sorry but that's the only way I know off) should take you no more than an hour or so.
