Does anyone know of a disk utility that will partition an ATA drive? I know OS 9 had a nice one but haven't found one for Tiger. I made the stupid mistake of loading Tiger onto a 120G hard drive and now I have trouble on start ups. I thought one of y'all mentioned about having to install OS 10.x.x on a big hard drive that it had to have an 8G partition allocated for installation of OS 10.
The 8GB limit ONLY applies to drives on the ATA bus of Beige G3's and the very first iMac.
If you could install Tiger on the machine, you don't have one of those systems.
Also the installer won't let you choose a drive that's greater than 8GB to install on if you have a applicable system.
So whatever your problems are with it, they're not at ALL related to the drive being 120 Gb in size, and partitioning is going to do you no good at all.
