kevingpo Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I hear everywhere that you can only install MAC OS X x86 on separate physical hard disk. I really want to install it on my laptop along aside Windows XP. Is this possible? If so, how much recommended space for MAC OS X? 10GB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
