[QUOTE="JChance, post: 771969, member: 39342"] Apologies in advance if this is a dumb question- I'm helping a friend who's having hard drive issues with his MDD 1.25 G4 tower. We're going to do a hard drive wipe & re-format, and I'm wondering if the drive can be partitioned so that he has the option to run Tiger & Leopard. Reason being- He has Leopard, but has a lot of pro apps that are still not as stable as they are on Tiger (& a couple of them aren't even Leopard-ready yet.) Also, since he's having hard drive issues.... Can we clone his current drive using something like Super Duper, reinstall OS X, and re-load his apps & personal files from the Super Duper backup without experiencing the same issues (corrupted files, etc)? In other words, with a fresh install of the operating system, can all the apps be re-installed from his saved Hard Drive? Thanks for the help! [/QUOTE]
