I have to keep running Snow Leopard because certain software (Yamaha MLan) supports nothing else.
I installed Yosemite on a 50GB partition, but Snow Leopard cannot remove it — saying it requires a later version of OSX?
What is the correct solution, please, without reformatting the whole 1TB SSD?
Thanks in anticipation

Try booting off the DVD and then open Disk Utility. Select the Yosemite partition and delete it using the minus button at the bottom. Then select the ////in the bottom right corner of the Snow Leopard partition and drag downward to reclaim the disk space.

Thanks, Eric.
I've not seen the Snow Leopard DVD for years — is the Disk Utility there different to the Snow Leopard version I already tried?
Thanks

You are welcome. Disk Utility is the same. Sometimes it helps if you aren't booted off the hard drive, which is why I suggested it. Can you post a screen shot of Disk Utility/Partition when trying to remove the partition?

The application is the same, but it's important to run it not from the disk you want to edit—it's simply impossible to resize the partition while the OS is running on it.
Get Snow Leopard to remove Yosemite partition?
