I was planning to install OSx from the beginning so I already have an empty 50gb partition.

Somewhere on a forum a guy panicked because he lost all his data when trying to install OSx onto a partition.

I'm kind of worried about what could cause this. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks.

btw, I have vista installed currently, and an empty partition so far.

edit: I'm installing right now, and selecting the patches. What do I select for SMBIOS?
