I want to partition my hard drive. It's a standard Mac drive. I can partition it with the standard Mac formatter, but it refuses to let me designate more than one partition as a Mac partition; the rest have to be AUX or something. Anybody know any applicable hacks? I want to do this to run two bootable systems (yes, one 6.x and one 7.0); I have some "soft partitioning" software, but it just uses an INIT to mount a reserved area as an other pseudo-drive. You gotta already be booting to even mount the pseudo-drive; so much for that idea. Is SCSI partitioning really "hard" partitioning? How does it work? Oh, and am I forgetting something important? -- /kenw Ken Wallewein A L B E R T A kenw@noah.arc.ab.ca R E S E A R C H (403)297-2660 C O U N C I L
