new system set up
trying to follow advice on this article:
https://library.creativecow.net/weiss_roth_david/FCP-10-MAC-Lion/1
On my Mac Pro: One drive is using snow leopard and has AVID 6 and FCS. They seem to living side by side just fine. I have edited with both. Want to try FCP X on a separate partition and then again when I get Lion.
As he suggested, I have three partitions on one drive. I am now installing, trying to install, snow leopard on one partition with FCP X. First it took me a whole bunch of time to get a disc image of the install disc to install on the partition. I found a link that told how to find the install program from the disc image: Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg.
Seemed to install fine. However it is not showing in start up disc in system preferences or when I hold option key and restart. The partition under disc utility is listed as bootable.

apple care suggested that there must be something wrong with the install disk image. gave up and installed from original DVD. installed fine. lots slower than from hard drive. would still like explanation if anyone knows. created image with disk utility. stored on a partition of one internal drive. not a standalone just an installer than can be used.
