Is Hackintosh Snow Leopard compatible with almost all intel/amd processors but it comes down to if you have a sata/ahci supported harddrive? Also, if someone happens to only have one harddrive, how easy is it to patition the harddrive and use easy bcd to boot both windows and snow leopard?
I never got partition to work before, that is why my setup is on two different harddrives on my computer. I have Windows 7 on one harddrive and Snow Leopard on the other. Can Windows 7 and Snow Leopard work on the same harddrive with partitions or does that create too many problems?

@UnrealizedYes, I run Windows and Snow Leopard on one hard disk. There are no problems with Chameleon, just install it to the same drive. It does not cause boot loader problems on Windows 7, because Windows 7's boot loader is not in the MBR.
What do you use when you have Windows 7 and Mac Snow Leopard on one disk? Do you use EasyBcd too? Thanks for your help.

No. I Install Windows first, then I just install OS X and that's it. No need for EasyBcd, as Windows appears on Chameleon's menu.
