If you plan to re-partition your existing hard drive, instead of
adding a second hard drive to install another version of any OS on to,
you need the Leopard 10.5 install DVD. The Panther and Tiger install
CD/DVD's Disk Utility does not allow re-partitioning a hard drive
without reformatting, or otherwise wiping out all data on the hard
drive, but Leopard can resize partitions without destroying the data
and can preserve your existing Tiger install.
Hope this helps,

Thanks for your suggestions. Dual booting had not occurred to me. That
would probably be best I think. Here is the scenario:
I have Tiger installed on my first HDD (60GB), This came preloaded and
I have no discs.
I now have the original G4 MDD install discs that revert me to
Panther.
Can i preserve what I have and partition and install Panther or will I
have to start from scratch and need a copy of 10.4?
