Good morning David, A curious bit of circumstance forced me to use an earlier version of the Apple O/S recently. My old Mac Mini died when its UPS went hysterical and cycled the power violently several times. I bought a new one, complete with 16GB RAM and the 1TB Fusion Drive (and a new power backup system).
My old Mini setup ran Parallels and Win7/64 so I could run several amateur radio programs on it. When I tried partitioning the new drive for 250GB for Boot camp. It wouldn't do it. There is a BUG in High Sierra that causes this and I have informed Apple of it. They have had others report the same. They had o way to fix it at the time I was having the problem in late March. My solution was to wipe the new drive and install an earlier version -- in this case 10.6 -- temporarily. The older disk utility will partition the new drive the way I needed it. After installing Win7/64, I reinstalled High Sierra and all was well. This is an example of how I had to drop back to an older O/S, if only temporarily. 73, Dave, K4TO On Thu, Apr 12, 2018 at 2:59 AM, David Fleming via Elecraft < [email protected]> wrote: > Yes..
