dual boot on dell xps 700

[trevornewell]

hello all. just to let you know this mac os stuff is new to me but i have been learning for a while. i have been trying to install snow leopard and windows 7 as a duel boot now for 2 or 3 days, and to no avail. i have tried many versions of SL and accually had install it working once, until i reboot and then that was the end of that. i dont know why it stopped working but there it is.

i have the fallowing setup.

xps 700 desktop with
intel pentium d 930
1 250gb sata hdd partitioned with 2 partitions first is for windows second is for mac os with over 100 gb on each partition
NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX 512 video card
4 gb ram

and i cant think of any other relevant info. if you need more feel free to ask.
i am currently using my windows 7 instantiation and have no access to a mac os for the reasons of creating a usb boot disk or any other mac related tools.

Please try to help if you can.

well after no success the past couple of days i am not giving up, i have 4 new versions of Snow leopard hazzard 10.6.6 and 10.6.1, kalyway 10.5.2 and a ideneb version. from what i'm after learning i think i have to try different kernels. i have a intel pentium D processor so i think i have to try vanilla kernel. if that dosnt work i will have to try some of the others on these disks. i also read somewhere that when starting i might type -x for safe mode -v for verbose and cpus=1 for using i core of my processor. so to use all of those i type "-x -v cpus=1" without the quotes. i will be trying in the next couple hours and i will be reporting my findings. WHEN i get this to work i will be trying to make a tutorial for helping others with the same pc or system setup that i have.

wish me luck
