Mac it. Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Was wondering if one was to have a new blank hard drive, would one even need to bother iwth XP installation, or is a straight OS X installation possible? I've read all the guides...all of them are for dual-booting. I tried searching the forum as well, and couldn't find a clear answer.

Stewart Bradford Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I am working on getting a hackintosh under way and just installed 10.4.7 (Jas) on a 40Gb HD without having XP anywhere near it. It works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shaun Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 This rig's first OS was Mac OS X. XP is far from required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
