So I have a newly 100% Lion Hackintosh Mini and want to start doing some gaming on it.

Wanted to get some advice on the best way to install Windows 7. I have a single 750GB HD which I realize will need to be partitioned.

Is it possible to install Windows through Boot Camp to keep my Lion partition? Or will I have to format the whole drive and start with a fresh install of Lion (which I'd like to avoid)

Thanks for the advice.

Best is to add another hard drive. But if you have to install on same drive, then use disk utility to add a second partition and format it EXFAT. Then see viewtopic.php?f=81&t=20872 . Just pick up at step 2.
