Hello I have a iMac G3 400 320mb ram 20gb hd, Ihave partitioned 12mb on OS9 and 8mb on OS10, the reason I do this is I store most of my stuff on OS9 even though I use OS10 most of the time. If the OS10 System should become corrupt I can wipe all data from the OS 10 partition and reinstall a clean System, and I only have to reinstall 1/3 of my data Hope this helps Jonathan Glauert Shortly I will take the plunge and install OS X 10.1.5 over 9.2.2, this is on a G4/400. I hear various stories on the need or not to partition my hard disk for this. Is there a definitive answer? I would prefer not too, apart from all the reinstallations needed I see the usual dilemma in deciding what size to make the partitions.
