ifrit05 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 All distro's should support dual-booting. Make sure windows is installed first. If your using Chameleon 2.0 with Windows Vista/7, make sure you boot "System Reserved" to boot Windows.

kaoticsolja Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 Thanks for your quick reply, I think i understand what you mean by all distros run dual boot. So my next question is I am looking for a tut for dual booting a Intel i5. I have read http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/04/ibo...ac-os-x-on.html which is what I would do if I was single booting. And this tut seems unproven, http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Simple_Dual_Boot. So please if you can help me find a distro and guide for my pc I would appreciate it.

ifrit05 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Well right off the bat you might have issues with Intel HD Graphics... Let me research some more and I'll give you a definite answer. (OS X isn't worth running without Graphics Acceleration) What is your Vendor ID/Device ID for your Graphics?

ifrit05 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 No. You can try Kexts.com, but I wouldn't count on getting this to work properly.
