Partitioning Drive-- Tiger and Leopard

I have an iBook G4 (PPC)... I would like to partition for Tiger and Leopard.....

1. Do I have to erase the drive prior to partitioning???

I would like to have each partition be a "boot" volume-- This would allow the tiger section to run Classic 9.

2. I presume the Leopard volume would allow me to run "Back to My Mac" (to a home intel mac).... Do you see any pitfalls here????

Any info would be appreciated....

Ron

Hi Rjconti,
To make two partitions on the hard drive, you will lose all data on it. So backup and save everything you need, then go ahead with 10.4 or 10.5 install disc, partition and install each system. Both can be bootable no problem, just hold alt at boot to select where to boot (if other than default).
