sSword Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hi In my current system I wish to add OSX. What I dont want to do is reinstall my current Windows OS's I have a 500gb drive split into 300/200 with Windows 7HP(64bit) and XP Pro, using the standard Windows bootloader. I plan to use a spare 500gb drive for OSX and maybe Ubuntu I do alot of audio production and reinstalling XP is out of the question, reinstalling windows 7 I could live with. Looking at the guides they all talk of fresh installations but I would like to add OSX to the current setup without effecting my current OS My PC: AsusP5Q3 Intel P45, Realtek Audio Intel E8500 Core2Duo 8gb ddr3 RAM Geforce 260GT Ralink RT61 Turbo Wireless LAN (no possibility of using wired ethernet) 500gb drive with Windows7/XP 1TB(2x500) raid 0 (used for audio/video streaming) 1TB Storage Drive 1TB Storage Drive 500Gb Empty drive I have looked at alot of guides and cannot find anything specific to doing what I want to do, can anyone give me some pointers? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are installing OS X on its own separate HDD, then apart from disconnecting the Windows HDD before installing OS X (just for maximum safety), you do not have to touch your Windows installations, other than to install EasyBCD if you wish..........
