If this is a SCSI drive, you do not need to partition. If this is and IDE drive, then you will need to create 1 partition of 7.99 GB or less and one with the remainder then install onto the 7.99 sized partition. If you need to have a dual boot computer (X and 9) then you would need at least 3 partitions: 7.99 GB for X, 1.5 for 9, and the remainder for your data. I recomend storing the data separately to make it easier to access from both X and 9.
I currently have OS 10.2.8 running on my 8600 with a NewerTech G3/300 upgrade. I recently bought a 18 GB drive that I plan to install and use as my start up disk. So, I will be starting with a fresh install of X and I was hoping to get some advice on the best way to do it.
I don't have a 9.1 installation CD, so I will copy my 9.1 system folder over to the new HD. Then, I plan on upgrading to 9.2.2 and then install X over that. Should X be on it's own partition, or does it need to be with 9.2.2? If partitioning is the way to go, what would be the best scheme?
