Kassem9099 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 First you should start by posting your hardware specs here if you want to get some help... Also, you could check out some distro's and see if your hardware are supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have to make some room on your hard drive to install Snow Leopard. The best tool to shrink a Windows volume is Windows Disk Management. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2672-...ume-shrink.html Shrink a Linux or Mac volume with their tools. It is more dangerous to dual boot on the same hard drive rather than two hard drives, so you better backup any important files. Make sure you install your SL into the space you made for it with Disk Management which should be unallocated now. Do not overwrite any "hidden" partition that HP may have included with system restore files and don't overwrite your existing Windows partition. I used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] which I got from the tonymac website to install SL. I bought the SL 10.6.3 retail dvd to install SL, and then updated to the current 10.6.6 after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom Charger Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 it is possible but would be easier to hack OSX then Windows 7 using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] method as you will be able to use chameleon to load win 7.
