I have an imac dv. when I got it I put os9 on it but didnt know anything about partitions. I want to get an external drive so I can keep my photos and bookmarks. But when I put OS X on it, os9 no longer works.

so my question is twofold...if I get a new drive where can all my current stuff go ?

and then would I have to partition 3 sections, one for the messed up os, one for os 9 & one for os x

i would appreciate some help because I found my snow airport base station and would like to set it up so i can use the imac dv in the living room & my snow ibook in my bedroom. but it seems to want os9 which wont work.

thanks

george
