Re: [SoundDiver] OSX 10.4 to 10.6.8 upgrade can't load Windows Adaptations

Hi Ken,

You can have a partition on your boot drive, but it's better to keep a second bootable partition on a separate drive, just in case your boot drive has problems and you need to run Disk Utility or DiskWarrior etc.

My 10.6.8 partition is about 18.5 GB - just enough for a system plus a few select apps. It's part of a second drive with other partitions for sample libraries and so on.

Of course, the hardware has to be able to boot into the older system. I have a 2008 Intel Mac which does fine on 10.6.8 but newer Macs may not - you'll have to check.

Hope this helps
Regards - Colin
