OliveiraJMR Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hello there, I'm getting mad trying to install vista on my macbook here!!! My system configuration is the following. I have 3 partions on my mac book 1st MacOSX 2nd Data partition for OSX 3rd Reserved space to install Windows Vista First i was getting an error saying that vista couldnt be installed ina GPT partition. I installed rEFIt and it partially solved the problem becuase it converted the partition table to MBR. Now after booting with my vista DVD i can create the partition on vista's setup but the it says that my partition system is not suitable to install vista?!?!?!?! I have 4 partitions showing on vista setup and i'm trying to install vista on "Parition 4" 1st i think is the EFI partition 2nd is the MACOSX 3rd is my data partition and 4th is the partition i create to install windows. So is there any way to install vista with this partitions configuration?!?! l Sugestion please!!! all the best, Joao Oliveira.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ongeloof Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 A small question... WHY INSTALL VISTA IN THE FIRST PLACE???!!!!!1 Think Mark EDT: use boot camp... when you have installed them, keep OS X as the start up drive and when you wanna go ito winbloze, restart and hold the option key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliveiraJMR Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi, I want to install vista because i like vista and now with sp1 runs much smoother than xp sp2. I cant use boot camp because i have already my HD partitioned and i cant loose the data i have in it. I'm trying to find way around to install vista, so thats why i asked if anyone knew anything. Thank for you sugestion anyway. OliveiraJMR A small question...

scottishduck Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Vista hates being the second best OS (literally). Use XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
