CLiDE FTW!!1 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Are there any precautions I should be taking before reinstalling a clean copy of Vista on my Vista partition? Is it possible to install Vista AFTER OS X? I don't want the installation to screw up my OS X partiton, as mac runs BEAUTIFULLY. However, Vista seems to reboot every hour or so (I think it's something to do with the timer crack I onced used with the RC2 beta files to get around activation... but I bought a new copy of Vista... ) I use acronis OS selector to select each partition.

eggie Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 as long as you select the correct partition when installing and reformating you should be fine you might get a HFS+ error when you try to boot into osx after the install but solutions are well documented on this forum Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52882-how-do-i-reinstall-vista-on-a-vistaos-x-hdd/#findComment-377566 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLiDE FTW!!1 Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 ^ Yup, they sure are. Thanks for the prompt reply, I'll re-install Vista after work; that is, if no one has any objections in the meantime!

Snerler Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Can you report back what happens? I dual boot XP and OS X and have been debating if I should install Vista.
