hecker Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 @Alexmondragon: I think you need some good basic info on PC's, bro, but explaining how partitions and hard drives work is really far beyond the scope of this forum. Try searching wikipedia.com for "partition" and/or "partitioning" and "hdd" or "hard drive". The descriptions there are very detailed and easy to understand. Then try following one of the tutorials on wiki.osx86project.org if you're serious about installing mac on your PC. Just one tip: partitioning will most likely erase your data, so MAKE A BACKUP! hecker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47856-could-somebody-please-aid-me-with-osx86-installation/#findComment-342840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mebster Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 what is "resizing a partition" is it possible for me to lose data if i do this....... almost forgot image is 10.4.6 Before you do anything backup everything on a DVD or something external because there is every chance you may loose your data if you try and partition your HDD. OSX's Disk Utilities isn't being too friendly with me right now so just a friendly warning. Also 10.4.8 images are available now but you will still need to partition in either case.
