monmon Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hey guys, I set my drive to MBR. But when I was trying to install Vista on my computer with mac osx 10.5.2, the drive said that "Windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation." Can someone lead me to guides that will teach me how to do this, for dual booting.. Cause I need to run corel draw, and mac osx simply don't have the latest version.. And adobe illustrator sucks.. I need that software.. Please guide me Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/107310-how-to-dual-boot-vista-and-kalyway-v1052/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The easiest way (without erasing everything or doing a partition change) will be to add a HDD to your system. You could get away with a 80Gig for little expense and run Vista on one with OSX on the other. -Jeff Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/107310-how-to-dual-boot-vista-and-kalyway-v1052/#findComment-762062 Share on other sites More sharing options...

a63falcon Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 hi, how can i partition my drive correctly? Monmon, There are several programs that can do this, some free, some not. Personally, i don't put much stock in re-partitioning a hard drive, because it's like tearing a piece of paper in half - what if something imporant is on the half you throw away? Anyway, the most popular seems to be PartitionMagic or Partition Expert. I believe both of these offer a trial period in which you can try them, but you will have to do the research. However - I am not entirely sure that either of these programs can handle re-partitioning an HFS volume (Mac version of drive maintenance - much like NTFS, FAT32, etc.) Do your research before trying this. My suggestion is to obtain another HDD. Either that or you can start from scratch, install Vista first (partition the drives correctly during install) and then do OSX. -Jeff Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/107310-how-to-dual-boot-vista-and-kalyway-v1052/#findComment-762078 Share on other sites More sharing options...
