Dunno if it's worth the effort. You can get an external firewire 500GB
drive for about $80 these days so if you're dropping the cash on
Protools you might want to just set up lion on another drive when the
time comes or flip flop internal and external at that point in time
(backup internal to external drive, install older OSX on internal
drive). Splitting your drive is like serving to masters. One partition
will always have empty extra space while the other will be scrimping.

Hi, all:
This might be a very basic question, but I've never done this before. I want to
install Mountain Lion on another partition of my internal hard drive. I'll try
my best to detail my situation.
What I want to do is install Mountain Lion, but have lion around in case I ever
decide to get ProTools. Right now, the hard drive has about 350 GB full and I
have about 400 GB of free space left on it. So what I want to do is get
mountain Lion installed on the second partition and get all my Lion settings
restored onto the second partition from my Time Machine backup. I want the
first partition, the one still running Lion, to take up as little space as
possible, since I won't be using Lion for a while.
Does this make sense to everyone, and if not, please let me know what questions
you have and I'll try and clarify. This is my first time doing this so I'm not
sure what information is necessary to help.
Thanks very much in advance,
--Des
