Does anyone know of a disk utility that will partition an ATA drive? I know OS 9 had a nice one but haven't found one for Tiger.
Apples Disk Utility will create partitions when you format the drive. There is a program out there, I do not remember the name, that will supposedly partition a drive on the fly without reformatting it, but that just sounds too risky for me.
I made the stupid mistake of loading Tiger onto a 120G hard drive and now I have trouble on start ups. I thought one of y'all mentioned about having to install OS 10.x.x on a big hard drive that it had to have an 8G partition allocated for installation of OS 10.
The 8G partition rule only applies to Beige G3s and some early iMacs. Otherwise a 120G HD should be fine on any Mac. What kind of Mac do you have?
