Vista and OSX without a saftey net

Recommended Posts

Edit: my original post was asking the best way to install OSX to a Studio 15 with vista preinstalled and without a vista install disk or factory image restore disk, However I just went for it. Go ahead and delete this or keep for refrence.

 

My results:

-I used Gparted to resize my vista partition and make one for OSX. (WARNING: This did make my vista partition un bootable details at the end)

-Installed OSX with iAtkos 2.0 (using -v cpus=1)

-Spent all day trying to fix my MBR

*****

Things to note:

-wifi card dosen't work (intel 5100 half mini)

-Graphics card isn't fully functional (native screen size is downgraded to 1024x728)

-Photo booth can run because of the card

 

 

Fixing the MBR:

I used Gparted to make vista partition flagged as boot, then used a vista install DVD to fix the disk. (For quite sometime I kept the OSX partition as bootable and Vista install couldn't find anything to fix.) After fixing, I made OSX the boot and everything that is known to work, works fine.
