dual boot/guid partitioning help!
Hey- great work...
Couple issues/questions:
I have one internal drive on my sony vaio (i know they can have issues), and I need to install SL on one partition and Win7 on another.
I tried the SL installation on a separate hfs+ journaled partition but it had to be GUID not MBR (as opposed to my kalyway 10.5.2 I had)....and disk utility would not be able to change the partition to GUID w/o altering the whole HD.
What is the best way to install SL so I can run it in a dual boot mode with windows 7? I will have a USB 8 gig stick if that helps, and will have another USB HD handy as well (blank but wish to eventually use it for shared files w/o OS)
Concerns: Installing SL/WIndows in MBR/GUID...I have only one hard drive to create 2 partitions...from my understanding, an entire disk must be MBR or GUID...
I still have the 10.5.2 kalyway disc if its easier to install this way...
Thanks.
