[GUIDE] How to easily install Snow + Win 7 on one drive

[lösd,föskfölsdkf]

Basically, before looking into how to make a OSX86 system multiboot, I had already installed Snow Leopard. So after a quick research here's how to set up multiboot the really easy way.

 

INFO: Should work for both 10.5 and 10.6, but only tested on 10.6

WARNING: This Guide only applies to Windows Vista and/or Windows 7 as second OS!

 

1. If you have not done so already, install OSX - it doesn't matter how, just use one of the guides. Don't worry about partitions right now.
   .
   
2. After having set up your system, you might have noticed that it won't be possible to use Boot Camp for multiboot. But that's not a problem. Open up the Disk Utility.
   Here, select your hard drive (on which leopard is running) in the list of drives on the left.
   .
   
3. Go to the tab partitioning, add a partition and adjust the size. Make it FAT 32 and apply your changes.
   .
   
4. Reboot your system and install Windows Vista or Windows 7 on the newly created partition. Be careful not to accidentally overwrite/delete the Mac OS partition.
   Note that you will need to re-format the FAT 32 partition to NTFS using the Windows installer.
   .
   
5. After having set up Windows, you'll notice that you can't boot into mac anymore. Don't worry, that's absolutely normal. Download and install EasyBCD.
   .
   
6. Start it. Select Add/Remove Entries in the left menu. Select the Mac tab, select Generic x86 PC as Type and enter a name (f.e. Mac OS X or Snow Leopard). Hit Add Entry (bottom right) and click Save (top right).
   

That's it! You're done!

 

After starting you PC you'll have the Vista / Win 7 boot manager popping up and asking you which OS to start. Select and confirm with enter.
