Hi,

I have a Quicksilver with OS 9 loaded, with only a single partition on my HD. I want to install OS X and have dual-boot capability.

Can I just install OS X from the installation DVD, and OS 9 will remain on the hard drive (and bootable?) Or do I have to create separate partitions for each OS?

If I have to partition, is there any way of doing it without erasing the hard drive?

Thanks!
