spamfilter247 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Ok, I know there are many many helpful articles on this topic,so what makes this any different? ZERO CONSOLE entries.That's right.It's very straightforward and will work.Out of the box. Assuming you want to install Windows XP/Vista/7 or whichever other OS you want, Install that OS first on your harddisk with the following partitions- 1. (about 20% more space than required for the windows install) -> let me call this "X Drive" 2. Leave the rest of the space FREE. Install Windows on "X Drive" and do all the necessary setup on windows. Take an image of Windows using 'Acronis True Image' and store the ".tib" files on a USB drive Next install Mac OSX on the PC along the following steps- In disk utility,create 2 partitions on the hard-disk.One for OSX and the other for windows (of size atleast equal to that of "X Drive" Install OSX on the OSX partition and login to OSX and again,set it up as you want Restart system and go to "acronis true image home" There,restore the image of the windows system you just took->restore it to the empty partition you created. Restart system At next boot with darwin bootloader,you can choose OSX with windows Enjoy Sorry if instructions were brief.
