Leopard 10.5.6 iDenebv1.4 on RAID0 Dual boot

[dejanilly]

Hi i'm kinda new to this stuff......so apologize if i ask something that was already disscused here

So....

I managed to make Apple partition under WXP. The Leopard (installation) is booting without problems.

I came to the disk utility where i wanted to make Partition for Leopard. But now only what i can see are my 2 disks which are connected into RAID 0. Only what i can do is to erase one of the disks.

That is not an option since i would destroy the RAID with this...and second i need the Windows partition for other work.

Is there any possibility so that i can see the Inactive Windows partition under the Disk Utility and the Choose (and create) the free partition space for Leopard without destroying the RAID and WXP ?

 

Thanks

Best

OS X Disk Utility does not recognize unallocated space on a hard drive, and so the space cannot be used to create a new partition.

 

You can only either reformat a pre-existing partitioned volume, or re-partition the entire hard drive space.....

 

When setting up partitions on a hard drive using Windows, just create primary partitions formatted as either simple FAT32 or NTFS volumes depending on your version of Windows......FAT32 and NTFS volumes are recognised by OS X.....so you can then use Disk Utility to either re-partition and/or re-format the volumes using the partition/formatting schemes you want for OS X.......e.g. MBR/HFS+ or GPT/HFS+.......
