i have this 30gb hd separated in 2 partitions. i don't want that anymore when i'll install panther.

i want to backup all my stuff to an external 120Gb hd that i have. can i do a clean install of panther on the old one and then put my home folder back in? how can i import my stuff like pictures for iphoto, email accounts, transmit username/password, bookmarks, etc..

or is it possible to join the 2 partition without reformatting? i doubt but who knows...

Ya gotta reformat.

If your machine can boot OS 9 you can do it with this program:

Also maybe I'm making this up, but I thought someone posted that Panther's Disk Utility allowed for departitioning (with destruction of the smaller partition)... can someone with Panther running check on this?

after the reformat, what will i have to do to restore the settings like password in transmit, email accounts and stuff like that in panther?

thanks!
