Little Past Problem...

[Hameer Abbasi]

Hello. I have two questions:

 

1. Is it possible to install OSX Lion without affecting Windows on an MBR disk?

and

2. Before, a OSX Snow Leopard install frequently messed up my Windows installs. Some way to avoid this please?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Oh, and any tips thrown in about Ubuntu as a third OS would be welcome, too.

 

EDIT: I don't have OSX installed now.

Windows will have startup issues after installing an other OS. All you have to do is boot with Windows CD/DVD and select Repair which will fix the startup issue.

Thanks. What about the second question? Install Lion on MBR without an existing install?

Are you talking about installing Mac on an MBR drive without having to re-format said drive to GUID?

hope this helps : Nawcom - MBR Install Lion

@creezalird Umm, I said:

without an existing install

Are you talking about installing Mac on an MBR drive without having to re-format said drive to GUID?

Exactly. But through Windows.

 

EDIT: The Nawcom method might just work, I just need a DMG editor for Windows, and I need to know where to put the files inside the archives. There are no folders that exactly match those on the GM app's contents or the main dmg (\Contents\SharedSupport\InstallESD.dmg), or the biggest dmg inside that (InstallMacOSX.pkg\InstallESD.dmg)

 

Thanks.

 

PS. I'm using 7-Zip, it opens the files, extracts them, but can't edit them.
