I'm not sure what you mean here, I have OS X and OS9.1 on a partitioned 20Gig drive in two partitions, I have a 5Gig partition for X and the rest is OS 9 (I keep most of my Apps etc on a seperate 40Gig) How big is the drive? Have you tried pulling the G4, and putting back the original ZIF, and installing XLR8, and then putting back the G4. I seem to remeber a reference to this in an xlr8yourmac submission. > >Does it mean that there has to be a partition that is 8 Gb or less? Or does >it mean that the partition just needs to include the first 8 Gb? Both, when you partition the top partition in Drive Setup is the first 8Gb.
