dothacker Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Try if you can install OSX for your system, I suggest either changing your HDD, or installing it in an external HDD so that you dont have to re-format your HDD. You can just either swap HDD or dual boot with the external drive.

dothacker Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 If you install OSX in an external HDD, then removing osx is just a matter of unplugging it. if you want to put another internal HDD in it, then that's fine and dandy too. Are you planning to install OSX in a drive where there's windows already?

Yes if you install OSX, depending on what instructions your following they will most likly have you create a 2nd partition, and then when you boot up it will give you the option of OSX or what ever your current operating system is. Removing will involve formating the OSX partition and then extending your main partition and repairing the MBR Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/237569-boot-help/#findComment-1586635 Share on other sites More sharing options...
