superxao Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I have an Acer Aspire 5051 laptop, and am wanting to dual boot XP and OS X on it. The hard drive is partitioned, so a friend said he'd help me with the actual installation of it on the 'D' drive. Thing is, though, I don't know if Mac would run on here. If anyone has tried it or whatever, and it works, or knows if this laptop meets the requirements.. please let me know! Thanks.
