italianorecordings Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 1# You can use a retail Leopard disc but not restore disc2# You can use your empty drive to install OSX86, you needn't partition your windows drive 3# Funny the store did not give you a disc, they didn't give you one called restore, did they? Is there a windows sticker on the case somewhere with the serial number. Have you registered your copy of Windows with Microsoft ? do you need to install osx86 first ? As for the windows 7 disk,The guy that did my computer has copy that you can do multiple computers with.. the computer is not from best buy any anything, its a custom build. Its a registered Legit copy with Legit serials. do you think you can throw me a link or show me how do do this the way i described with the other drive? PS THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!

Beerkex'd Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Use the forum search or google, you need to search by motherboard. You didn't do what you were asked to do by a more experienced user (more than half the info you were asked to provide is missing) that's why nobody replied. Leave your Windows HDD as it is and install OS X on your blank HDD.
