[QUOTE="goobimama, post: 511875, member: 17032"] 1. Don't partition the main drive. Do this and you will have to reinstall OS X. 2. Just copy the user folder contents which will include Documents, Pictures and such folders. Use .Mac for backing up bookmarks and such (60 day trial available) 3. If you are using the main system disk, then you will have to boot from the install DVD by pressing C while booting. If not, then it's pretty simple. Select the drive you want to partition in the left pane, and then select the partition tab. Then specify file sizes, file systems and partition. 4. Install OS X first, and then the rest. 5. While booting hold "Option" key to select the drive to boot from. 6. Please do take a second opinion and don't go by my borked intelligence... [/QUOTE]
