I wish to build a non-bearing exterior wall to fill-in an existing garage
door opening. Here is a pictuhttp://i19.tinypic.com/3z0rpeo.jpg
I'll need to form and pour a 6" concrete curb for the sill plate of the
wall. My question is this: can the curb be poured on top of the existing
concrete pad using a concrete bonding agent, or should I cut out the pad and
then do the form and pour?
Thanks to all for your responses.

Its none bearing, so no need to cut out anything. You "might" want to
drill into the slab & place a few dowels.
Actually if you place some really long threaded ones, you could let
them stick up through your pour & they'd be your wall anchors.
make sure you have an adequate connection up top, hate to have that
wall fall over on someone.
also cut away that door jam / framing do you don't create a rot /
termite issue
