Windows Xp with Mac OS Lion X

Hi all, I know this is a bit off topic as its a Windows 7 forum but I am trying to install Mac OS on the same drive as my WinXP Hard Drive.



I have created/split a 250GB and left 32GB for the Mac/Linux to install

My WinXP is installed so is there a way to add the operating system on the same drive as Windows, if so how?
Have downloaded EasyBCD...then Im lost!!

It is illegal to install Mac OS in a non-mac machine, I guess you know it.

Anyways ... this snip may give you an idea ... this is not the best place to discuss these topics

Not illegal, just a violation of the Apple licence agreement.

Somebody told me it is illegal .... when I built a hackintosh up a few weeks ago I never read apple's eula .... took his works as true

EDIT : As Z3r010 permits ... I am adding a few lines . Have you already installed Mac ? If not, me very careful while formatting the target partition as Journaled ; at first make a backup of your windows installation in a secured place . And the better is, do it in another disk , dont add the boot entry in boot manager .

And if Mac is already installed, the best way to go is to use bootcamp.

virtual box will allow you to instal mac osx on any computer. ok its not the same as a dual boot, but it works the same, its just a little resource hungry so you may want to limit the number of cores and ram it can gobble.

On my mac i use parallels desktop 7 to run windows 7, and its faultless, admittedly its not free, but if theres a pc version available id highly recommend it! it still amazes me i can play games like call of duty 4 on my mac via a virtual program.
