Allright show im done building a pc. But i have installed windows 7 on it, A friend of me have buy'd me Mac OSX 10.6.3 on it i said i already have windows 7 on it and he was all like Just "Dual boot it" So i find out what it is now i made a new drive called; Mac OS. So now i just turn off my pc, Put the disc on and when it ask me where to install it i select that drive and i have 2 OS right ? I dont want to lose one of them but i love Mac ! Can anyone help me please, Thanks :)
OSX is better for general use, but Windows has more programs. it's a pretty even trade, honestly.

But i love mac because the awsome design ^_^ But, if i install it on that new drive. Will it have 2 OS's right ? and then when i start my pc and go in the boot menu i can just start MAC by going to the other disc ? -and windows by selecting Windows 7 ( or normal startup .. ? )
yeah probably. you may end up needing to install a different bootloader, I don't know. I'm honestly not all that familiar with dualbooting OSX
Windows 7 + Vmware or openbox and Hyper-V enjoy both, Hyper V should let you cut right to the hardware

Partitioning your HDD into two equal sections and dual-booting OSX and W7 should be fine on its own shouldn't it? Or is OSX touchy like that?
