ogynche Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hi guys, I have a simple question. This is my hard drive. I have Windows 7 and XP installed on different partitions and dual booting with the Windows 7 boot loader. I have two more partitions just for data. My question is: Can I create another partition and install on it Mac OS X 10.6 and are there any speciffic requirements for that? Thanks in advance!

Sure you can Create an NTFS partition or so, and just before installing Mac OS X, use the diskmanager from the disk to convert that partition to HFS, because Macs can't run on NTFS. That's exactly how I did it. Greetings. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/191131-windows-7-xp-dual-boot-with-sl/#findComment-1293393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogynche Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Yeah, but after installing, where should I install the chameleon boot loader? On the same partition? And will it boot my Win 7 and XP? Thanks a lot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/191131-windows-7-xp-dual-boot-with-sl/#findComment-1293518 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot When I installed Leopard, the installer didn’t ask where to install chameleon. I don't even think its possible to choose Chameleons location, Chameleon is probably always installed in the MBR. But I'm not that smart :') Oh, and Chameleon should be able find your Windows installations automatically Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/191131-windows-7-xp-dual-boot-with-sl/#findComment-1293657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
