Fihiro Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Question: I Have a HP media center m8150n. It has 2 *physical*, 300 GB hard drives. A core 2 Q6600 (4 core) processor, and a nvidia 8400GS. I have been using vista ultimate on it for quite some time, and all of my files are on this computer. Is there a safe way I can make a dual boot operating system machine, so that it does not damage vista/the files? How would I go about doing this. I've tried looking for instructions, but after reading them, I never get reassured that my data is safe. Or if there is even a way to do it. If I had the Vista DVD, I could just backup everything, load leopard, then vista. But I do not have the Vista installation DVD. I have no prior knowledge in this field, other than getting Tiger to run in VMware. But without graphics, and very crappy refresh rates, I found it useless. I would really like a native Leopard install. I already have the Kalyway package of leopard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westwaerts Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 plug in another hard disk and install it there, and you have no risk at all. you must have SATA AHCI not IDE ( option in bios) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
