Aeowon Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Well, as everyone else would say, "try using the search feature" or "dig a little deeper"... and leave you with no answer, but I'm glad to help. This is an easy tutorial to follow. Click Here. Here is the bit you are looking for... Hope this helps. [This is a tutorial assuming you currently have XP or Vista installed on your Intel computer.] "... 1. If you are using Windows XP go to step 2. If you are using Windows Vista, skip to step 3. 2. You need to create at least 6GB unallocated space on your hard disk. If you know how to do this, don't hesitate to use your preferred method. If you don't know how to do this, download Partiton Magic 8 and shrink one of the partitions on your hard drive. After you've done that, skip to step 4. >> Click on ‘Resize/Move Partition >> Move the slider to make the partition smaller and hit OK >> Click on ‘Apply’ >> Close Partition Magic 3. You need to create at least 6GB unallocated space on your hard drive. To do this, follow the steps below. >> Press the windows logo in the bottom left corner of you screen >> Right click ‘computer’ and select ‘manage’ >> Select ‘Disk Management’ in the ‘Computer Management’ screen. >> Select a partition with at least 6GB of free space >> Right click it and hit ’shrink volume” >> Type in the amount of space to shrink (at least 6GB) and hit ‘Shrink’. >> Close all open windows. 4. In Vista, hit [windows button] + R. In XP, go to start > Run. Type 'diskpart' (without quotes) in the run window and press OK. 5. In the command window, type: >> List disk >> Select disk [disk #] >> List partition >> create partition primary id=af >> active 6. Insert the Leopard install disk (if you don't have it, search for a ToH RC2 disk on the usual places...) and reboot your computer.If it doesn't boot up your Leopard disk you may have to change your BIOS settings to alow booting from a DVD. 7. Wait for the DVD to boot up and select a language. Somewhere in the toolbar at the top of your screen (after you selected a language!) you'll see 'Disk Utility'. Open it and select the partition you created in step 5. Format it to HFS+ (journaled) and call it Leopard. 8. Follow all installation steps on your screen. Choose the HFS+ (journaled) partition you created in step 7 and don't forget to hit customize. Depending on the install disk you use you need to select or deselect packages. ..."

Aeowon Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I'm not exactly sure how to update it at the moment, never had the need myself. Good question to ask yet another fellow Mac installer. Hope the best. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/145840-dual-boot-vista-and-leopard/#findComment-1036295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
