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..

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 :D

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.
