First, your start up disk name is blank because, presumably, you renamed it to all spaces. Is your hard drive displayed on your Desktop? Just select it and rename it ... you can rename it by selecting it and either 1. pressing Return or 2. right clicking and selecting Get Info and changing the name in Name & Extension. If it's not on your Desktop, it should be in your Finder sidebar. (Edit, just looked at your last image - you can rename your disk there)

Second, you can't repartition your start up disk while you're booted using that disk. Insert your OS X install disk and reboot while pressing the 'C' key. Repartition there.

Back up first.

In addition, with 52Gb or so used on a 74Gb drive you are really pushing it to push 10Gb into another partition. Your startup drive requires a good chunk of free space for virtual memory use, etc. and leaving only 10Gb is pushing it.

Unless there is a very important reason to have a second partition on a drive this small you would be a lot happier in the long run leaving it as a single partition.

Second, you can't repartition your start up disk while you're booted using that disk. Insert your OS X install disk and reboot while pressing the 'C' key. Repartition there.

Incorrect. With Leopard, you can dynamically resize the boot drive in Disk Utility. In 10.4 (IIRC) and earlier, you would be correct.

[MAC NOOB =(((]

[r.j.s]

[Wirelessly posted via iPhone G4 / Windows Mojave / Current location: somewhere out there]

You can't, you need a dual layer disc.

I'm not even going to bother asking where you got it.

[MAC NOOB =(((]

Ok i tryed to make a partition this is what i done
1.restart with tiger dvd pressing c then go to disk utility split my hardrive(the internal one) into 2 then i resart without the tiger disk inside then when i restarted not pressing anything at all nothing happened except a grey screen and a grey folder in the middle with a question mark and the folder and question mark flashes. then when i hold option while restarting since i made a partition nothing happens it just takes me to a grey screen with nothing except my cursor???

please help me guys

So you partitioned your hard drive. One partition obviously has no operating system installed hence the flashing question mark. What are your plans with the partitioning?

If you want to install the operating system with your Tiger disk, hold down the C key when your machine boots.

[MAC NOOB =(((]

I Split My Hardrive In 2 I Clicked On The Split Button
Anyways When I Press The Option At Start Up Nothing Is There Except My Original Hardrive??
But....When I Use My Original Partition On The Desktop There Is The Partition That I Made??

[sickmacdoc]

Using the Option key at startup does not show all partitions on your drives- it only shows partitions that can be booted from.

So assuming you did not install OSX on the second partition it will not show up with Option.

[alphaod]

Did you add a partition or did you create 2 new partitions?

[todd2000]

Yes it will work fine. It's illegal unless it's your copy, but it will work fin.

[MAC NOOB =(((]

Yes it will work fine. It's illegal unless it's your copy, but it will work fin.

Thank You And I Do Have A Copy

[Delameko]

Thank You And I Do Have A Copy

Then why don't you just use the copy?

[Delameko]

OK, I read through your other posts. Have I got this right?

You've got a copy of Snow Leopard from somewhere, you're trying to burn it to a disc so you can install it on the 10GB partition you've created on your 74GB harddrive?

Is this correct? If so, it's not going to work.

Or you're just trying to get Snow Leopard onto a disc, so you can boot from it, and then partition your drive properly?

[spinnerlys]

1. http://www.ehow.com/how_2093946_create-disk-image-mac-osx.html + Terminal with this command:
hdiutil convert "/path/to/name.iso" -format UDRW -o "/path/to/output.dmg"

2. no. a DVD or bootable drive with an image of the Leopard DVD (extracted) might do it.

Trying a Hackintosh?

[Samarium]

Didn't they tell you not to capitalize every word?
My bet is that he is trying to install Snow Leopard, there was a kid here with that exact question.

One discussion is sufficient .

[angelneo]

What's your torrent client? Although I don't think it will work in any cross platform client.

[Crown16]

you could try using azureus... there is a mac and pc client for it. just use the friendboost... ik think that might work... not sure if it works with incomplete files though... why not just restart the download on your mac.. then u only have to transfer the torrent file...

[DoFoT9]

hello and welcome!,

i suggest that you download transmission o as your torrent program.

you need to get both the torrent source file (which is really small) and the data from the file that you are downloding (the 18.2% done file). get them onto your mac, put them wherever you like.

open up transmission

navigate to File>Open Torrent Files

find the really small torrent source file by navigating to it, select it and click Open.

it will then ask you where to save.

navigate to where your actual data is (the 18.2% completed file). this is kind of tricky, but easy once you know what to do. you need to select the folder that is one folder back from the actual data.

E.G. if my torrent "DoFoT9's Torrent" was a folder on the desktop, i would select the desktop as the place to save it.

from there you just hit ok and it should automatically check itself and walla, you can finish it off!!

if u need me just give me a PM.

[MAC NOOB =(((]
