Thanks to all who replied to my query. On the basis of what's been
said, I've decided to forego partitioning right now and see what
TechTool Pro 4 will do. I confess to some dubiety because I used to
have TechTool Pro 2, and found it very bad at, e.g., recovering an
accidentally-deleted file.

Andrew,
IIRC, your problem was caused by the use of disk utilities that were
incompatible with your system (Norton Utilities, I think?) not the lack
of partitioning itself. Personally, I've had absolutely no trouble
using TechTool Pro 4 to repair both OS X and OS 9 volumes. If you

Hi Andrew,
It is actually less and less necessary to have separate partitions
for OS X and OS 9. In fact, if I were you, I wouldn't bother. You
can keep your working OS 9 folder and create a second, clean OS 9

Well, it's finally time for me to partition my dual-boot iMac to keep
OSS9 & X from interfering w. each other.
Never having done it before, I hadn't realized this entailed erasing
my whole hard drive (and I confess I don't understand why this must
be). _Mac OSX: The Missing Manual_ casually tel
