Shrink the volume and make a partition?

Hi there,

 

I was looking at some Leopard on PC guides and it says you need to shrink the volume and create a partition. Is this absolutely necessary? Because, when I try to create a partition, Windows says Unable to create a partition. Any ideas?

It sounds like you're trying to install Leopard on an existing Windows drive that doesn't have any free space to make a new partition.

 

In this case you do need to shrink your NTFS partition, and you'll have to use a Leopard installer that supports MBR partitioned disks. Don't bother creating a new partion in the free space as you can do this in Disk Utility during your install.
