How can I partition my hard drive?
Text:
I have a 800Mhz, 256MB Mac OS 10.4.11 iBook G4. I want to split my 30GB hard drive in two, a 27GB block and a 3GB block. How can I do this? Do I use Disk Utility or is there some freeware that partitions hard drives?
Once I have the 3GB section I plan to restore it with Ubuntu 6.10, I have tried the install function within the Ubuntu OS but I get stuck at step 5/6, it asks me where I want my mount points for "/" and "swap" to be but no matter what I select, I cannot progress to step 6/6.
If anyone has a solution within Ubuntu I will try those first, then partitioning outside of Ubuntu.
