    Hi,
    I have a Dell XPS M1730 gaming laptop.
    I have 2 hard drives installed.
    I am currently using Windows Vista on it.
    I am wondering if it possible to run both Windows 7 and Mac Snow Leopard on my laptop.
    Any information would be hugely appriciated.
    Thanks

    Mac operating systems are designed specifically for Mac hardware. It's technically illegal to install Snow Leopard on non-Mac computers.

    Besides the legal issues, it also requires a lot of time, expertise and effort to modify the OS to run on hardware it's not designed for, remove authentication software, and it's impossible to patch bugs afterwards.

    Basically, it's doable but would take a few months of coding and breaking the law to come away with a possibly crippled product.

    Not worth the time. Use Ubuntu ^^
