Hello

😕 I want to install ubuntu on my IMAC Intel 17 inch with 160 and 512mb but i also want to keep Tiger on it. How do formatt the drive properly so I dont lose any information or Tiger?😕 It was Easy installing windows but i got to many window computers so the next best is linux. 🙂 Thank You in advanced i wasnt able to find the information on apples site for formatting.

You could look at using Parallel's Desktop - http://www.parallels.com/

Costs $79.00

You don't have to restart your Mac when you want to run Linux - just run it in a Virtual Machine environment. Saves you worrying about partitioning your drive too...

Have a look at this useful How To

Hope it's of some help, it looks slightly daunting at first but once you look into it it isn't really. 🙂

Hi

Yes it is for internal, I think that it uses an external though as a means of installing it on the internal drive...so if you have an external drive it'll be useful.

I used to have a link that would tell you exactly how to do it without the need for an external, but the bookmark is on my mac which is away for another 3 weeks being fixed once again. If you still need information after 3 weeks (unlikely but you never know) I should have the link for you. 🙂
