Jasondirtbiker Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Right Now I am running windows 7 and leopard. I am using Iatkos 5i. The way i did it was wipe the hard disk. Then install windows 7. Then in windows 7 shrink the partition, and create a new unformatted one. Then inserted iatkos and installed. I dont know what you want VMware for.

whizkid515 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Install Windows 7 first. Shrink the partition so you have enough free space for mac. I use GParted, but you have to go into the recovery mode on the install DVD, google "gparted vista" without the quotes for more information on that. Format the free space to HFS+. I've done the resize and recovery before on Vista Business SP1 before with no data loss on my MacBook. Boot up your installation disc and then open disk utility (under utilities). Under your hard drive, there will be 2 partitions. Click the first one. Under format near the bottom of the window, if it says Windows NTFS, click the next partition and do nothing to this one. Click the next partition if you haven't already and click erase. Type in the name you want for the partition (I used Macintosh HD, but you can do whatever you want) and click erase. Once it formats the partition, exit out of disk utility. Proceed with the installer and click the volume that you just formatted (e.g. Macintosh HD), it will be the only available for installation. After the installer completes, reboot. You should get a bootloader menu (I have Chameleon) that lets you choose between Windows and Mac, so choose. You do not need VMWare Fusion to install this, I think the tutorial person just did that so he wouldn't do anything to his computer.
