Dual booting a Windows 7 OS and Kalyway 10.5.2 Mac OSX

Hey guys, just joined up, I was reading some of the tutorials here on how to dual boot, and the world of hackintoshing.

 

Anyways, I have an ISO image of Windows 7 Build 7100, as well as an ISO image of Kalyway 10.5.2.

 

My computer specs:

 

Dell E1505

Dell, Inc

Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit (6.1, Build 7100) (7100.winmain_win7rc.090421-1700)

ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 (128 MiB, Vertex/Pixel Shader 3.0)

120 GiB Hard Drive

Intel® Core™2 CPU T5600 @ 1.83GHz (2 CPUs), ~1.8GHz

2048MB RAM

Some Sigmatel C-Major HD soundcard (I don't have it installed on Win7 right now XD)

TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L632D ATA Device

 

I installed Windows 7 by using the ISO file and loading it via DAEMON Tools, so I have no DVD of it. Should I have one?

 

I have the Kalyway 10.5.2, according to the Dell E1505/etc topic, as it is most compatible with my hardware.

 

I really do not want to create DVDs for both, as I am short of them, but if it is necessary, I will.

 

Or is it possible to dual boot both OSes without loading DVDs?

 

I have an external backup drive that has both ISO files, could I use that to load the OSes?

 

I read through many articles on Google and on here, and it describes things that sound really scary to me, such as Windows won't boot, or computer fails to post, etc.

 

Could someone walk me through somehow? I also have Paragon Partition Manager installed to reduce the partition size of the Windows 7.

 

Is it required to make a FAT32 partition of Windows? I heard it can't handle large file sizes.
