Separate partitions on OSX

[SCWolf]

Just a simple/stupid question really. If I add a second partition to my HD and install OSX Yosemite on it, can I still access the files on the main partition while using the additional partition?

Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!

Yes

Yes it will depend on how the permissions are set up, which I assume can be done after setup. Since root access to other OSX drives will probably be locked, you will likely be able to work around it with non-system read or read/write access.

My recommendation would be to create a third partition without installing OSX on it to store the files you wish to transfer. Otherwise, google will be helpful in this matter.
