Installing YDL 3.0 without re-initializing disk

[Ron Smith]

I was able to use Apples Drive Utility to do what you want to do. All I 
did was boot with the Mac OS CD and open the Drive Utility. I selected 
the partition I wanted to use and changed it to "unallocated." and then 
installed YDL on it. I think the main thing is to not resize any of the 
partitions. If you leave them all the same size, the Drive Utility 
should leave the unchanged ones alone and they should still be in tact.

I backed up everything important off of the other partitions because I 
didn't know if it was really going to work or not, but it did. If you 
try this, please let me know your results, I would hate to give this 
advice and have it not work for someone.
