Sayyan Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I've been searching around, reading as much as possible about the OSx86 project, but I really can't find many answers (which may just be bad searching on my part!) Is it possible to partition a Windows Vista installation on a PC with an AMD Phenom processor and install Leopard on a new partition, to result in a dual boot machine. This is asking quite a lot, so I won't be surprised if it isn't possible, however if it is, I will be incredibly impressed. If it is and there is a guide on how to do it somewhere, I will also feel incredibly foolish. Thanks for your time! EDIT: The computer also has an nVidia 280 GTX card, though I believe I read these are now supported. Any clarification on this would be great. Thanks.

steve9x Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I would like to know the answer to that too, I think it's possible but maybe its complicated enough that no one has made a tutorial for that yet... You can dual boot Windows + Linux, and they both use different file systems. NTFS + Ext3 And that doesn't stop them from being dual booted... I think what makes it difficult is you have to format a partition as HFS(the one you want to install OS X on)... And since mac does not read NTFS, it does not see your partitions that you made in windows... I think its about time somebody made a universal partition manager that you could boot up and manage your partitions and format them in NTFS, HFS, and EXT3 that would be sweet.. Well I hope you find a solution! I feel that its possible, but the way to do it is not so blatantly obvious...

Maxcielle Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 i have used EasyBCD 1.7.2 to dual boot with windows... just install it in vista and configure. Its 10 seconds. http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...uides#Dual_Boot cheerz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/170791-amd-vista-dual-boot/#findComment-1178583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
