Partitioning Disk
is it possible to partition my system disk without losing my system. So at the moment i have my system on a 112GB HDD but i want to cut off about half of it to make that second half a backup disk, is there anyway to do this without it wiping my disk to start with?

if your disk is partitioned in the GUID partition scheme already, you can... if MBR, nope. You'd have to make an image of your install and place it somewhere else, then do a restore using the install DVD and reinstalling chameleon.
if you have GUID, simply use Disk Utility and resize your partition and create a second behind it. All should work as normal. EDIT: with MBR, it is possible, just problematic at times... Thanks Dies.  Last edited by nfoav8or; 10-30-2008 at 03:37 AM.

Also, I would recommend using the Install DVD's Disk Utility or a test partition to create an image to make sure that the HD isn't being accessed while you are creating it.
