Me again--
(I have been up for 12 hours trying to restore a kernel panic on both an iBook,
and a
g4 Sawtooth
... I had this question, which may relate to the
slow, unresponsive PISMO problem:
Last year my 30 gig HD died, and I bought a (nice!) new Seagate 80 gig HD. I
installed it,
and was instructed to partition it. I decided to partition it into two
sections. WRONG.
I was told they were too large.. try again. Okay, four sections. WRONG. Okay,
how about
8 partitions...Wrong, again. I settled on 10 partitions. In my Finder, there
are 10 hard drives,
all called 'Untitled." (I finally got them off my desktop!).
I have filled up almost ONE of them.
(7.1 gigs?).
Is there a problem, a bottleneck, so to speak, for information to spill over
from one partition
to the next? Or does this sort of thing happen smoothly? Is this why the PISMO
is
turtle-slow?
(At one point I transferred 6 gigabytes of itunes directly into partition
number two, since
#1 was half-full. Just for fun.)
And, should I name them all? (they are all untitled). There are only seven
Dwarfs. (dwarves?)
Really, I'd like to re-install a new OS and get rid of all this nonsense. I've
seen much bigger HD's and they did not have to be partitioned down into tiny
bits.
And so many partitions-- a slow-down?
