    If you are attempting to install MorphOS on a Mac mini, please note that IWizard will format the drive automatically, destroying the previous contents of the hard drive. Instructions on how to install and configure MorphOS to run alongside other operating systems will be provided at a later date.

    I hope osco understands the guide better than I understand him ;-)

    (I know that's a damn cheek coming from a native english speaker who can't communicate in any other language, but hey I'm a cheeky guy ;-) )

    edit: Sorry I'm being unfair. He's making much more sense in this thread than in previous ones. :-)

    If your question is "how do I resize existing partitions to create another partition so I can then install MacOSX Leopard and have a dual boot system from what you now have as only a single boot MorphOS2.4 system" then just boot from the Leopard DVD and start the Disk Utilities program.

    If not, then please explain again what you are trying to do.

    Are you using the fine dual boot pdf that has been provided? In what way did your installation fail? At what point in the instructions given in that dual boot pdf did your installation fail for MorphOS2.4?

    I used it and had no trouble, except for the part where I backed up my MacOSX hard drive and then tried to re-install it and found that the second time I went to do the re-install, the files were all gone from the DVD-RW that I put them on.
