My friend wants to upgrade the OS yet still run some important yet old applications which can only run on Tiger - the idea behind two partitions is to be able to have both OSs available at boot time on the Mac's partitioned HD.

The HD currently is one partition with Tiger which OS cannot partition on the fly.
