Paritioning question

All discs have at least ONE partition.

If you are trying to create another partition, the short answer is no.

The long answer is it is possible... creating a Boot Camp partition does just this, but with limitations.

Disk Utility in Leopard and Snow Leopard allow dynamic repartitioning, but journaling must be enabled. Disk Utility help has the steps. See +*Creating new partitions on a disk.*+

Not only is it possible, it can be done.
But you should still consider two things:

backup, and booting from DVD or another (your clone backup hard drive) rather than making changes on the drive/volume/partition you are running OS X from.

Also, use SL to do any changes if you have Leopard and hope to dual boot with 10.6.

Yes, you can.
No, you don't need Boot Camp Assistant.

Apple Support => Topics from the tab above, or Help menu in any application, or pick up a reference like highly acclaimed "Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Snow Leopard" by Pogue (960 pgs).

As the others mentioned, it may be possible. See #3 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

****!

I learn something every day! I was totally unaware Apple had made this so easy.


Sorry for my mistake!

Not a problem -- that's what we're here for. 😉

Glad it's sorted out, and thanks for the feedback.
