See my nForce Retail Snow Leopard Install Guide............as for dual booting with Win7, separate HDDs for Win7 and OS X are recommended.............use Chameleon or Chameleon-based bootloader in OS X and EasyBCD 2.0 in Windows............

tegezee Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Thanks Verdant, So I can't partition the one HDD because I have windows 7 already on the one HDD with a lot of information on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can but in order for you to install or upgrade OS X 10.6 on MBR partitioned hard drive volumes you need a modified OSInstall.mpkg and OSInstall Unix executable file in the Mac OS X Install DVD...........also OS X and Windows will compete as regards the active bootloader in the MBR..........but it can be fixed.............see post #1 and #2 here.......
