Hello to my mac gurus. I have an odd question for you all.

I have a friend who wants to do this. He already has a ML partition on a 32 gig 
flash drive. My thinking is he can make another  partition on said drive and 
create another boot partition with mavericks. We tried to do this but ended up 
removing all the partitions and starting over. When we went to disk utility and 
clicked add partition it added one, but made it 16 mb. We could not change this 
to 16 gigs no matter what we did including trying to type gb.

Next we created 2 partitions and called one 10.8.5 j and one 10.9. He is still 
on ML so we ran lion disk maker and it erased all of the partitions on the 
volume and made it 1 big 32 gig partition with 10.8.5 on it. Is there a way to 
preserve the 10.8l5 boot disk and create a mavericks install boot disk using 
the terminal command, and would the terminal command work with the ML thing so 
maybe we could do both partitions?

Thanks and be blessed.
