So, what your saying is, I have to partition the disk before an install? 8gb/120gb or something of that nature, just not over 8gb?
Sorry for the dumb questions, I am completely new to os x and have been running os 9 for a LONG time.....this is so fun though, I am so glad these imacs are so upgradable...my wife is so happy.

"partitioning" is mostly for human consumption, though there are some exceptions (such as the 8GB OS X boot restriction on this model). an ATA bus isn't sophisticated enough to address disk space beyond somewhere in the vicinity of 128GB. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
