Hi all,
Perhaps this has already been explained but please bear with me!
I just got an older iMac for 80 euros, it had a 4 GB harddisk and 64 MB RAM. I went and bought a 512 MB SO-Dimm and a 160 GB DiamondMax harddisk and souped it up. The HD was seen by the iMac as having 128 GB only but that's no problem, is it?
Then I tried to install Panther. After partitioning the Maxtor HD (1 x 8 GB and 1 x the rest) both partitions showed up with the red exclamation mark in the installer. Why can't I use the 8 GB partition to install Panther?
The partition has to be smaller than 8 gb (worse, the installer calculates it differently than how disk utility displays it). When I installed OSX on an affected machine I had to set the partiton to 7.85 Gb or so before it worked.
