dual O/S on partition ???

[basslik]

Hi everyone, so far I been loving this Imac for over a year. What I need to do now is run Leopard with PT8 & Snow Leopard with PT9 on separate partitions. Can anyone direct me to a clip or maybe a youtube clip on to do this?, thank, and have a great weekend.

First, which iMac is it? Newer ones (Oct 2009 models and after) won't support Leopard at all IIRC.

As for the Leopard / SL dual install, it is possible on supporting models with separate installs on separate partitions.

the-ep, thank you for chiming in. I have an Imac duocore 1.83 Intel. When I first bought it, I ran Tiger & PT7, then upgraded to Leopard & PT8, and now I'm at Snow Leopard & PT9, but the thing is that PT9 wants more ram, and is great for mix down, but for tracking I was better off with Leopard & PT8, since that only requires 1gig of ram. I would like to track with Leopard & PT8, then mixdown with Snow Leopard & PT9.

Hi everyone, I need help on how to have Snow leopard and leopard on the system drive ( PARTITIONED), please forgive me but I'm not that versed on Macs, fairly new but loving every minute learning. I already have Snow Leopard running, but I need to partition the drive to have Leopard on it. Thanks and have a great week everyone.

Its rather easy. Start the Disk Utility, select your main drive, go to the Partition tab, use the "+" button to add a new partition. Resize as appropriate, press "Apply". Then, simply install another OS onto the new partition.

Don't forget to backup in case something goes wrong though!

Thank you very much, and have a great week all.
