Hi there:
I had a major computer crash this weekend. Long story short - I had to completely erase my hard drive and I lost everything on it. I was lucky that I had the important files backed up. But still, I did lose a lot of important files nonetheless. Everything seems to be back to normal for now. However, since the hard drive is essentially wiped clean, I thought this might be a good time to do some changes. I have a 40GB hard drive, and what I was thinking of doing was partitioning the drive in the following way: a small partition with just the basic OS X and disk utility on it (maybe Norton as well, if I buy it). I'm not sure what size it should be, so any help would be great; next, a partition with OS 9 and some of my favourite games on it - maybe 5 - 10 GB or so. Finally, the rest will be my main partition. Can anyone talk me through how to do this? I have the install disk for OS 9 that came with my iMac, but everytime I have tried in the past to actually install it, I haven't been able to.
Thanks
