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.

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...
