Re: strategy for repartitioning drive

[John Slavin]

That's what I was afraid of.  So now I'm wondering how to get all this 
stuff off my wallstreet.  The logical thing would be to create a folder 
on my ibook and then copy everything via ethernet.  Boy is that going 
to take a while via 10T ethernet or wireless ethernet.  Can I copy the 
startup partition with it running from the same startup partition? Then 
 I'm thinking, how can get all this stuff back on there when the 
wallstreet will have empty drive.  What about using bootcd to create 
bootable cd before I copy, and include CCC.  Can I boot the wallstreet  
off the cd and use ccc to copy everything back from the ibook to my 
pristene drive?

I messed up when I first installed OSX, in that I thought both OSX

partition, OS9 on the next 4GB and the rest would be reserved for 
data.  I have come to the realization that 4GB is not really enough 
for OSX and that allocating around 7.8 or so for OSX would have been 
better. Is there any way to repartition, without completely wiping 
the drive?  Assuming not, can I use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy off 
everything, repartition and copy it back?
John,

There is no "easy" way of repartitioning a drive without risking data 
loss.  It can be done but I wouldn't recommend it.

Use CCC to copy the data you want and then repartition it.
