Dual booting Leopard with Tiger

[alltruist]

Hi everyone,

I have a MacBook Pro that came with Leopard. I am wondering if it is possible for me to shrink my Leopard partition and then install Tiger on a second partition. I have seen a similar thread about starting with Tiger and then adding a Leopard partition, but I want to go the other way around. Also, is it possible for me to do this without having to reinstall Leopard, such as making a partition with Boot Camp and then tweaking it with the Disk Utility in the Tiger installer?

Thanks in advance!

Will NOT work. You cannot install an OS older than the one your Mac came with.

True. Why do you want Tiger installed? Development stuff?

Why will it not work? I know that it is not something Apple wants people to do. Apple doesn't want people to set up a Linux dual boot on their macs, but that is technically possible to do.

Tiger might not come with the code necessary for your MacBook Pro, such as code for the video or new trackpads or other hardware changes

Beats me why it won't work. But go ahead and try it if you want. Prove us wrong.
