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.
