iSIKH Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hey so I originally installed Kalyway 10.5.2 then combo updated to 10.5.3 then I used Apple software update for my Apps such as iTunes, iPhoto, Quicktime and lastly 10.5.4. I have a 160 GB hard drive with one partition that Mac is on. I want to dual boot with Vista now. How would I proceed. I do not want to screw up my installation or anything. FYI: I have an externel hard drive if anything needs to be backed up.

Demonik Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 just make a have a seperate partition for windows and install windows on it. You'll probably have to mark your leopard partition active again if after installing vista you go straight into vista's loading screen.

iSIKH Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 How do I backup my entire partition? Do you mean my important files lol? Okay so I have gparted and burned it. My partition is extended and journeled install. It is MBR I did not choose guid. Also if you need to know I set in bios IDE to ACHI or something(this is a recommended change it shouldn't affect anything?) I use sata hard drives also. EDIT: How would I make Mac leopard the active partition again? Also how would I be able to go on windows when I want to?
