Blah101 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 http://thebackpackr.com/hackintoshing-with-snow-leopard/ I found this tutorial while searching google. I plan on using it because it incorporates the lifehacker guide that I will be following. However, it seems many recommend Chameleon boot loader, which does not seem as simple as this. I really just want a simple way to boot into either of the two OSs without having trouble. Is this a good method? And if not what method should I use? Thanks in advance! ~Blah Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/220386-is-this-a-good-way-to-dual-boot-win-7-snowleo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtopman Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 It sounds OK but if you don't need the usb to install, then you might want to do this. From this guide (assuming you've already installed windows), follow step #1 (but you won't need xubuntu), step #2 (If you need to shrink your windows partition defrag first), step #4, step #6, and step #7. Install chameleon. How to remove. If it all works then great otherwise follow step #8 and normal windows booting should occur. At this point you may remove the partition and reformat it as windows or resize the main one RESIZING IS RISKY!!!.

Blah101 Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 So I can use it is what you are saying. I plan on using the lifehacker guide to install snow leo anyway. I just needed a simple way to dual boot. I will try the way I found, if I have any trouble I will be sure to come back here . ~Blah Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/220386-is-this-a-good-way-to-dual-boot-win-7-snowleo/#findComment-1483954 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You posted this in both my topic and this one. Explain to me why you are pasting this guide everywhere for views where they do not apply?

Blah101 Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 Wait so now I am confused. Will the guide I found work or not? And please don't advertise guides that don't pertain to this thread here. ~Blah Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/220386-is-this-a-good-way-to-dual-boot-win-7-snowleo/#findComment-1484164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
