Dual1Ghz, what to do?!
I have a dual1Ghz on the way, and I'm wondering how I should partition my drive. It's only 80Gb, so I need to be careful.
I plan to use OS X as my primary OS, but I also need to be in 9 until some apps such as Dreamweaver and Primiere are available for X. I will NOT use classic.
How should I partition my drive? Please advise.
thanks,
fise

J :cool:
This works fine and fast.
OSX-0S9
works great for me
faster renders with a fresh boot in OS9
when you partition your drive you'll lose iDVD2
to re install it without runing the restore set
you'll have to drag all the restore CDs(5)
on to your drive then drage the iDVD2 folder into your apps folder 1.08GB
I'm very happy with my dual 1GHz box

I'm thinking of making a partition for X, 9, and maybe Files/Mp3s/Movies.
Anyway. Make FIVE partitions
3GB - For OS X
1GB - For OS 9
7GB- For Apps
30GB - For MP3s
The rest - For other stuff
Go 5 GB for OS9, 10 GB for OSX (this is a lot, but you'll end up using X more and more, and you have a big hard drive, so what the heck), and 65 GB for data.
Of course you'll end up with a little less than 65 after making your 5 and 10 GB partitions...
Just keep the OS9 and OSX partitions for applications only, and keep all of your data on the big partition. If you mess up either OS terribly, your data is fine, and you can just reinstall the OS at your leisure.
That's what I did with my 40 GB drive. (well, it was 5+5+30)
Really though, I wouldn't bother doing it again.
Again....7500 is too much.....Both Murbot and I find this unacceptable

Buy another cheap, slow drive--about 40GB or more for backup. If you're using the machine for anything serious, you cannot afford NOT to have a backup drive. And its cheaper in the long run than zip disks or burning CDs. FWIW only the naïve backup to zip disks.
