There is no blending of anything here. This is no different than having an older Mac whose hard drive has both OS-7.5 and OS-8.6 loaded on it. One could hardly describe such a set up as being a blending of two operating systems. The Mac is simply capable of running one system or the other, depending upon which was used as the startup system. In order to function, each needs (and uses) its own supporting files. Each system maintains its own identity, and is equally vulnerable to the intentional (or unintentional) deletion of files, whether they be critical or not. John at Wood-n-Shavings, Inc.
