A prime example from today:
I keep a Beige G3/300 in an ATX case with my iTunes files on it. Over the last few days it has had some serious problems due to having 10.2.8 installed, so I made sure all of my important data was moved to another partition and formatted the partition to reinstall OS X. All of the iTunes files are on a separate partition, so all I have to do with them is import them back into iTunes. While that will take some time (2700 songs and counting), I didn't lose a single song.

To partition, you would start with Drive Setup in Applications/Utilities in Mac 9.
I am not sure if there really are advantages.
You acn run diferent OS's on each.

Hi there: Could someone please explain to me the value of partitioning, and
how one does it? Or direct me to a site where they talk about it? Thanks!
