Dumb partitioning question
I'm still a bit of a novice at Mac use so I want to proceed carefully and I need to ask some questions. I'd like to be able to partition the internal hard drive so I can have different partitions for different OSs (9.2, classic and X). If it is possible to do this without too much work. But all my data,

During Setup, Mandrake asked me what to do with the existing (single) partition, and I intended to overwrite/ format the existing XP installation. Apparently - as I figured out later - Mandrake partitioned my drive, so that I ended up with a Linux (3 GB) and a XP (3 GB) partition. This is not what I wanted.

My DOS partition is only visible when I use a driver, so it doesn't show up in safe mode. Also, the driver in question conflicts with my CD-ROM driver, so Windows cannot see either my CD-ROM drive or my DOS partition, which one depending on whether I comment out a line in my AUTOEXEC.BAT Since I only use my CD-ROM

I would also like to leave a partition sized at about 100MB to test Linux and BSD. I assume that I can use a partition at the end of one drive or the other for Linux.

I have no problem creating 100GB partition with reiser and store linux files, but I am having issues creating a 25 GB FAT partition and mounting it. Even if there is a questionmark in your posting, I fail to see the question. So I am guestimating here. Use YaST to create it. Works great here.

Hmm. I thought I'd replied to the OP that his partitioning layout depended on what bits he wanted to share.
