First you should start by posting your hardware specs here if you want to get some help... Also, you could check out some distro's and see if your hardware are supported.

i have a intel processer 2gb ram hp dv 6700, and what do you mean by distro's?

well i am pretty new to this and was wondering what should i do because i have tried to find a guide that would allow me to install mac os x second as i already have windows 7 installed so i was wondering what can i do?

 

You will have to make some room on your hard drive to install Snow Leopard. The best tool to shrink a Windows volume is Windows Disk Management. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2672-...ume-shrink.html Shrink a Linux or Mac volume with their tools.

 

It is more dangerous to dual boot on the same hard drive rather than two hard drives, so you better backup any important files. Make sure you install your SL into the space you made for it with Disk Management which should be unallocated now. Do not overwrite any "hidden" partition that HP may have included with system restore files and don't overwrite your existing Windows partition.

I used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] which I got from the tonymac website to install SL. I bought the SL 10.6.3 retail dvd to install SL, and then updated to the current 10.6.6 after that.
