I have an imac revb. Hd is allmost full. So I both a new one Maxtor D740X-6L. installed this using a std IDE splitter. Made 4 Partitions and copied the 8.6 system (upgraded from 8.5). It was only possible to boot from this partition with appleshare off. On the other partitions I installed a new 8.6 or 8.5. Placed back the old HD. THe same problem. Only possible to boot with appleshare off. When trying to boot with appleshare on I got only 3words "There is a " the rest is not visible. One I got a message bus error. replaced extension with new one. System check told result No problems. HD check No problems.
Can someone help me around with this.
P.S. a lot off stuff on this disk. games from the kids etc. Reason for a big disk with partitions and separate systems.
