Hi Rogerio, Sorry i forgot to not mention the machine that i have, its a powerpc g3 800mhz (384ram 30gb hd) the reason of why i dont have the install cd is because i just bought it used, and the guy who sold me the mac didn't have the manuals/cd with him in that moment. (im contacting him so i can get that stuff, btw) Lets say i boot from a macbook (those with intel processor) with a gparted live cd, will that work? Also i've found this: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page Its a live-cd with partition-tools and they have an iso ppc version to download, do you (or anybody else) know if this works fine? Well for now that's all.
