Much more significant, one day the Mountain Lion partition was damaged and had to be erased - at which point I installed Mavericks (10.9) on it - and this got me thinking: my computer is four years old, and if I buy a new one, it won’t run Snow Leopard at all. The computer was never entirely happy with it booting into the Snow Leopard partition, for example, tended to damage the Spotlight index on the Mountain Lion partition, and vice versa. ![]() By rebooting, I could switch systems.īut this situation could not endure forever. This situation I managed by maintaining an internal hard disk with two partitions, one with Snow Leopard installed, the other with Mountain Lion. Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) was the last Mac system I really liked I detested Lion (10.7), but could live with Mountain Lion (10.8) long enough to use it temporarily when necessary - as when writing my books, where I needed to be using the latest version of Xcode.
