Ozai Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 So Now that I have successfully updated my snow leopard to version 10.6.2, by using normal software update, I'm no longer using Leopard on my other partition. My question is, can the removal of old Leopard be harmful in any respect? I'm mostly concrned because chameleon 2.0 RC3 is still booting from Leopard partition. I then get the option of either selecting Leopard or SL on boot. NB: I have chameleon installed on both partitions. But for some reason it still thinks of Leopard as primary, even after I edited apple.com.boot.plist and set disk partition to (0,2) Any insights or useful links About the subject are highly appreciated! Thx!! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/203261-delete-leopard-after-a-successful-sl-install/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimeShift Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I have my leopard partition with iATKOS, if some problem occurs with my Snow, I go to leopard to fix.

delphinus87 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Try cloning your Snow Leopard to an external USB and booting from that. If you can't, try installing bootloaders on it until you can boot directly off of your USB, also make sure you can point it to other partitions. Erase Your Leopard drive and clone your USB Snow to the first partition. Verify it boots, and erase your other Snow Leopard partition. not very elegant, but it's what I would do ^^ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/203261-delete-leopard-after-a-successful-sl-install/#findComment-1367797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozai Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 thanks delphinus87! I'll try to do that tonight.. right after I get back from work.. because honestly.. I do actually feel that SL is running perfectly for me.. there is no need to keep the older leopard partition.. I like to keep things simple on my computer, besides the face that leopard is interfering sometimes.. creating some sort of conflict.. especially when using search features and spotlight.

Beerkex'd Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 You can prevent it from indexing and searching the 10.5.x partition in the Spotlight preferences.
