[QUOTE="Kahlan, post: 115899"] Good day everyone, (I also posted this in the switchers hangout, but thought maybe it should be posted here?) I recently acquired an old clamshell. I thought it would be an inexpensive way to get a taste of Mac. When I received it, it was running perfect and have had no problems for the two months I've owned it. I decided I wanted to partition it so I could have OS X, OS 9, and Linux on there own volumes. The partitioning part went fine (I did it through Disk Utility). However my first attempt- Installed 10.3 and 9.2, once I did nine I couldn't start up in 10 again. It showed on the disk start up, but once selected and restarted, it went to 9. Also, what was most alarming is the memory which was at 288 MB, now only showed the originial 64 MB! On the Mac info page it is listed as not supported! So, where did I go wrong? I would like to do a clean reformat (if there is one), do the partitions and get my ram back. I would be forever in your debt if anyone can help me out. Thanks in advance, Kahlan [/QUOTE]
