Is there anyway I can boot Windows 7 + Leo4all's Mac OsX86 on a single harddrive drive without erasing it? And being able to keep my media partion?

Dual Boot Vista/win7 and OSX86 very easy way

1. Boot From Vista DVD -->split your harddrive make 2 partitions.

2. Install vista on the first partition then -->Reboot

3. Then --> install osx on the second -->Reboot

4. Boot from the vista dvd and make partition 1 active

( fix computer )

Diskpart

select disk 0

select partition 1

active

5. Reboot

6. Get Vista Winboot error

5. boot off vista dvd

6. repair

7. Vista will now boot

8. make partition 2(osx) Active

Run = > CMD

Diskpart

select disk 0

select partition 2

active

exit

9. Reboot, OSX will now BOOT

10. Edit plist and make 8 second time out so you have enough time to hit F8 before OSX boots next time.

 

11. well there is'nt a 11th step because you are all set... if you want to boot VISTA just tap F8 when its counting down

 

and there you have it .. Dual booting Vista and OSX !!!

Soo there isnt a way I can keep my already made media partition? I also tried installing OS X 86 to the harddrive but formatted a partition to "fat". When I tried erasing it to the type it should be, it wouldnt work.
