Now that I have received my new Seagate FW external drive & am awaiting
the delivery of Tiger (seemed like a good time to upgrade), I was
hoping to get some advice on the best way to go about setting it up. I
haven't used an external HD before, but what I am thinking is to
install Tiger on the HD & then back up my iMac before upgrading it to
Tiger. I was thinking to partition it...one for my iMac & another for
my PowerBook from work. How do I go about partitioning (also new to
me)? Ideally, I would like to be able to boot from the HD, in case of a
real problem. Will it set up automatically or do I need to do something
specific? Finally, it came with BounceBack software. Can anyone comment
on that?
Sorry for the long, rambling email. Obviously this is new to me & I
don't want to mess it up.
TIA.
