josealb Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hello everyone. I'm looking forward to install leopard on my pc and have still got some doubts, i hope you can help me with. I've got 2 HDDs, one of them (200gb) has my windows system installed and the other one (500gb) is formatted to NTFS and has only got some files like movies backup etc. I'm planning to install the Kalyway 10.5.1 SSE2 SSE3 (thanks a lot to the developers btw) in the 500 gb disk but I guess I will have to partition that HDD. My doubts are the following: How much space is it recommended to use for the Leopard system? Will I be able to see the files in the NTFS partitions from Leopard? Which format should I select for the Leopard partition? Thanks for your attention!

AndreaGalileo Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I would use Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and 30GB. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84301-doubts-about-partitioning/#findComment-598395 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreaGalileo Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Leo takes like 6GB. You can make a 10GB if you want. I was thinking more space for your files.

josealb Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Can't I use the rest of the HDD for the files? :/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84301-doubts-about-partitioning/#findComment-598460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
