[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Hard Disk Partitioning

clye@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (Christopher Lye) (02/05/90)

I have Symantec Utilities I and just got a 100 meg HD which I am
interested in partitioning. I have been told that Symantec's
partitioning technique is not TRUE disk partitioning and that other
programs like Silverlining and Multidisk do perform true HD
partitioning.

What exactly is the difference? Are there disadvantages to Symantec's
method and what are they? Also will the two programs mentioned allow me
to partition my drive without having to reformate it? Does the SUM II
package have true partitioning?

Thanks in advance,

Chris
