hello I've done the following on my pc

 

Start partition Magic

>> Click on ‘Resize/Move Partition

>> Move the slider to make the partition smaller and hit OK

>> Click on ‘Apply’

>> Close Partition Magic

 

Click ‘START > Run…’ and type ‘diskpart’ (without quotes)

 

Type in (press enter after you typed in a line):

 

list disk

select disk [the number of your disk

create partition primary id=af

 

Close the command window.

To install spfdisk just insert a formatted diskette and open the exe file (Click here to download spfdisk)

 

Click ‘START > Run…’ and type ‘diskpart’ (without quotes)

 

Type in (press enter after you typed in a line):

 

list disk

select disk [the number of your disk]

list partition

select partition [the number of your osx partition]

active (if this doesn’t work, try ’set active’ without quotes)

Once you get into the installer, the first thing you must do is go to the Utilities menu and select Disk Utility so you can format your OSX partition.

 

Select the partition on the left and click on the Erase tab on the right.

 

Give the partition a name, be sure it is set to MacOS Extended Journaled and then click the Erase button.

 

Quit Disk Utility and your partition should show up in the installer window.

 

When you get to the window where you are to click the Install button, first click the Customize button and choose packages for your computer. Click the little arrow next to the patches category to reveal the individual packages. Select Intel or AMD packages, not both. Select SSE2 or SSE3, not both, depending upon the capability of your processor. Select the Combo Update to get the latest version of OSX. Select other packages only if you know your computer can use them.
