use Drive Setup...

find it here Applications > Utilities > Apple Extras...

Here's an illustrated link too. Don't forget to back-up important data from the drive you plan to partition.

ah, that's because you're trying to initialize (not "initiate") or format your start-up disk, which is a no-no. you need to boot off a startup OS9 CD (the wallstreet should have one), and use disk utility from there.

sir can i use the startup disk of os 9.2.1 for my os 9.1?

yes, i think the wallstreet can handle that, why dont you upgrade to 9.2 na rin?

im upgrading to os x panther.. but it required partition of harddrive of at least 8 gig to install it there.. i'll try it later hope i can make it this time :angel:
