If it was Intel mac, the Disk Utility (or command line, I don't know) can do it free. http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iPartition.php When you partition, you either press ALT while booting or use System preferences to select 10.4.10 partition. In fact startup disk in system preferences show system version for that reason I think. Even if it is exactly same OS version, the "Repair" partition saved me many times. For example it is easiest way to restore missing system files. Ilgaz

I just joined the group and found the list of several tutorials. I think you actually gave me the information before but when I went there that previous time I didn't find the tutorials because (stupid me!) I didn't realise I had to join the group to see them. Thanks again. Kit
