[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 270418, member: 3850"] Why don't you just use the multi user feature of OS X instead? Anyway, this is how I'd recommend doing it if you really must use partitions: 1) Boot off DVD, Start disk utility and just enter the amount of partitions you need. 2) Finish the installation on the first partition and get everything set the way you want it. 3) Log in and open disk utility and select 'restore'. Drag the first partition (with OS X installed) to the 'source' area and drag the empty partition to the 'destination' area. 4) Repeat for each partition and then just change any settings you want to personalize for the different users.
