Dual Boot? Install OSX on HD with Windows 7.

[silkysmooth]

Hello everyone, i'm running a great hackintosh thanks to this forum. I have a question out of pure curiosity: If I have a hard drive already running Windows 7, is there any way to create another partition and instal OSX on that partition.

I've read Tony's guide, but as far as I know, that's only for blank HD's

Thanks!

You should be able to do that just fine. You'll have reformat with disk utility when you install OS X, but it should still work.

it did not work out for me. you need to have your hard drive in GUID Partition Method.

if u have win7 already installed, i guess you have mbr (master boot record). in my case i could not install lion on that drive, so i deleted the whole drive and started with installing mac first.
