Both the OS9 and OSuX "Drive Setup / Disk Utility", in my experience
(pre-OSuX 10.2) when asked to make ANY change on ANY partition, will
change EVERY partition = no data remains on ANY partition of a disk.
However, in the installer process of OS X, one of the screens offers
the option to "Erase" a partition and install OS X onto it...
and this
only touches the one partition. "Erase" done from the Finder of
a running
Mac OS {9,X} only zaps the selected partition. Either way, in
the ERASE
dialogue, you get to pick the new format, under 9, HFS or HFS+,
under X,
HFS+ or UFS. AVOID using "Drive Setup / Disk Utility", use "ERASE".
