    Well I was just wondering... "now that I have learned how to successfully install Mac OS X on my mini, I can try Dual Boot". Later than that i just use Saint Google and the result is this:

    If you follow step by step that guide I promise you that you'll get a successfully Dual Boot of Win7/OSX. I made it and it's smoothly as hell!!! LOL Hope I helped you

    Hmm. I wonder if this could work with Windows XP. I have OSX 10.5.7 on my Mini now, but it'd be nice to have XP aswell.

    I can say that this doesn't work with XP. Because EasyBCD looks for the Vista/Win7 bootloader which is very different from the XP bootloader. Re-installed Win7 and this works perfect. You end up with two bootloaders but hey, works perfect.

    Also saying that this works, plus I didn't need to install windows 7 first like what most guides say. I had my OSX installed on the first partition and then installed windows 7 on the second. the only different thing I did with this guide is instead of "DISKPART> select partition 1" I selected partition 2 as the active partition.

    Also you can change the bootloader start up time for both easyBCD and chameleon Now I set it just just 3 seconds to windows and when I want OSX I just selct that one and it load near instantly.

    Very Easy Guide!!
