Hi all. First, I want to say THANK YOU to all you helpful folks who have so
graciously answered my questions. Because of you, I have done something new
today. I installed a new hard drive in my iMac, to replace the old, dead
one. (Okay, my husband actually did the honors... but I read the
instructions and kibitzed the whole way...) So now I have this Blueberry
350mhz with 320 ram and a gigantic 80G hard drive. I'd like to run both OS 9
and OS X (I have OS 9.2.2 install disk and Panther) so the kids can play
games that run on both systems. There's nothing else hooked up to this
computer. No external drive or anything. Just a printer. It's been
recommended that I partition the drive, but how should I configure it?
How many partitions?
Do I put OS 9 and Panther on the same partition?
Does it matter which OS I install first?
Oh, one other goofy question. When we were opening the case to install the
hard drive, on the hinged lid/cover thingy - there's a soft thin pad thing
that is on the inside of the hinged lid, like a liner of some kind. We took
that off (don't ask me why) and could not reattach it. Is it a heat
deflector? Will the iMac unexpectantly blow up one day?
