[QUOTE="vince0501, post: 517866, member: 39860"] Let me summarize and make sure I have everything correct. 1. Create a backup clon of my current Tiger system using my external HD and CCC. I do not need to partition the external HD at this point. 2. Install Leopard on the iMac. Assuming all is well and working as it should. I would then create a new backup clone of the Leopard system. This would be the point when I would partition the HD, erasing all that is on it. I would then create a partition for Time machine, and one for the bootable HD clone (with CCC). If all that is correct, then my last question would be how to set up the partition. I have 250gb on the iMac. The external drive is 500gb. Do I split evenly, or leave more for the time machine backup. If so how much more? Thanks again...and hopefully I am done bothering you. :D [/QUOTE]
