Three simple questions

Hello guys,

First of all - great work all of you.

I got 3 simple questions to start with - right before installing the OSx86 (iATKOS v5i on Vista 64 SP1)

1 - My previous experience with such installions tells me that sometimes it just doesn't work. Especially for me... like when it says "from the utilities menu select advanced" and there is no advanced option or no utilities menu... You then turn to formus and people there reply - I got that option / that menu... I don't know - it happened to me a lot.
So my question regarding to that - is the entire process reversible? After I'll format the second HD partition to the OSx86 (called HFS if I'm not mistaken) and it won't work - could I restore the partition for Vista? or will that part of my HD be gone forever?
Is there a manual how to delete OSx86 and restore Vista?

2 - I got an ATI Radeon 4650 HD card (Sapphire). Is that compatible with iATKOS v5i? I also got Intel G45 motherboard so there's an extra DVI plug. But switching the plug everytime I'm booting to a different OS will be kind of annoying I think...

3 - I saw somewhere that easyBCD (v 1.7.2) does not work with v5i of iATKOS - http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/f184/65668.htm (in the remark towards the end of the post). So, what do you recommend? maually change the chain0 file like suggested here - http://www.infinitemac.com/f19/how-t...nd-os-x-t1803/ (frankly this guide seems quite short... too short?), change using easyBCD, or change using OSx86's darwin bootloader (http://ihackintosh.blogspot.com/2008...-iatkos.html)?

Which way is better?


Many thanks!

Josh.
