So I have been researching how to do this for a few days and I can not come up with a conclusion. I have a Dell Studio 1535 Laptop with a C2D and ATI mobility HD3500 GFX Card with ICH-8 chipset and a Desktop with an XFX 790i Ultra Mobo with a C2Q and Nvidia GTX 260 with an nforce chipset.

I tried the Empire_efi method as well and got stuck onn Boot:1 Is there a way to set this up on the laptop or my desktop and if so can someone point me where to read so I can set this up?
