thrunner Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Partition Magic could be the first step but then you would need other steps to partition the free space to type AF (OSX86/BSD compatible; which PMagic doesn't do BTW). It is a lot safer to start with a new harddrive for someone new to OSX86.
