[Help] Please teach me to make 2 partitions on Tiger/PPC?
Please tell me how to partition a hard drive, so I can boot the Leopard Installer/disk-image from a separate partition. Thanks in advance to anyone of you, who has enough patience & time to guide me through to complete this common task.
I did the follow things so far to make a separate partition for my disk-image (Leopard Installer):
1. Launched Disk-Utility on Tiger 10.4.11 OS X.
2. Clicked on my hard-drive (149.1 GB).
3. Selected "Partition" in that menu (seen above the Volume Information).
4. Selected "2 Partitions" from the "Volume Scheme drop-down menu".
--here's where I noticed the problem--
I noticed all of the options I need to choose between are "grayed-out", here (what should I do to make the partition at least 8GB or larger now?):

If I interpreted your post correctly, that's your problem. The only way around this (other than, perhaps, 3rd party utilities) is to startup from the DVD and repartition your "Macintosh HD". Doing so will erase the drive, you'll have to re-install the OS (unless you have a back-up image you can just copy to it.)
But to do it with only the Apple supplied utility, you're gonna have to back up EVERYTHING you wish to keep, reformat the HD, re-install the OS, then get all your data back from the back-up media.
