Dan. I saw sense, although I don't have a full back up of my Mac at any given time, just the important files - about 2GB backed up online.
I don't have a big enough external storage device. I do however have my sons eMac with just enough free space. So I used SuperDuper to clone my Leopard install to an image on his hard drive via target mode. Then I repartitioned the PowerBook into 3 (one for Leopard, one for Tiger and one for OS9). At present I am cloning the Leopard image back. Fingers crossed. Then my OS9 image (which is a puny 200MB) and then I will install Tiger. I have succesfully used iPartition, but like you say I want it nice and cleanly done. Also apologies for the double posting. Simon --- Repartitioning is RISKY. VERY RISKY. Oh wait. If you have up to date backups -- why not just do it right? Repartition the drive properly, laying down a *clean* partition map, with Disk Utility, then reload the volumes from your backup. Why go to the risk of having the data loss and a foo partition map (that NO repair tool can fix!)? - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
