tracksleepy Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I have a 320gb hd and i have vista running right now, and i downloaded and burned the loe4all disk but i dont want to erase my hard drive and install mac and then install vista again. I have special backup disks that have vista already on it that came with my pc. And it has the right drivers for card readers games, sound cards etc.... Plus if i do install mac with compleltly erasing the Hard drive and then installing vista i cant because the disk requires to compleltly erase the HD again. So how do i do this pls help. I also had other questions but no one is answering me.

Resize your Vista partition (Partition Magic, Gparted Live cd) and create a new primary partition formatted with NTFS filesystem, then install Leopard on it by initializing in disk utility with Mac OSX (journaled) filesystem. After Leopard, install Chameleon 2.0 and you'll have the dual boot.

I am going to wait till the 5th of augest to do it when i get my backup hard drive for all my files just incase.
