The rev A and slot loading iMacs all have a max drive size limit of close to 128 MB. This is due to a limitation of the iMac's IDE controller, it will only see 128 MB, partitioning as you want to isn't possible. You will be wasting your money on a 250 GB disk.
What about using an _external_ 250 GB firewire drive with the slot-loader? (And if it's OK, then would any partitioning be necessary?)
Thanks, Art
