My computer is an iMac G4 (1GHz PowerPC) with 1.25 GB SDRAM and Leopard OS. When I updated my OS, my Photoshop CS stopped working, although the rest of the CS design programs work. The computer runs great.

I just bought a new 320GB miniStack v3 (quad interface). On this, I want to load my old OS, Panther (never got Tiger) and Photoshop CS... never had problems before with these two working in harmony. Of course, I also want to use the external drive for Time Machine.

I'd really appreciate help on how to properly initiate what I want to do. I think it'd be good to partition the miniStack, but I don't know how much space to dedicate for each partition. I'm thinking...
First partition: Panther OS and Photoshop
Second partion: for Time Machine to back up my iMac

Do I use Disk Utility to partition the miniStack? I've never partitioned anything before and don't want to mess things up!

Thanx in advance to anyone who can help out.
