emd2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I have Windows 7 Professional installed on my laptop; it only has one hard drive. I have a couple of questions: Can I dual boot both of them off the same hard drive, different partitions, and if so how? Which OSx86 version do I need to install that is most compatible with my system(See attached picture and html).

razy60 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hi, check in the wiki for compatibility of hardware and requirements and yes it is possible to dual boot off of the same drive, so far i have tried iatkos v7 and IPC both are good, i personally used IPC as it suits my laptop better as far as graphics are concerned(3 year old Dell 6400).

lechrissy Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Yes, it can be done. You can use this tutorial as a general guide, perhaps. http://blog.netnerds.net/2009/10/dual-boot...ni-10v-netbook/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/191174-helpdual-boot-windows-7-and-osx86/#findComment-1294437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
