Comment: I currently own an IBM Think pad i-1300, running windows XP proffessional. I was wondering if it is possible to Dual boot Mac OS X and Windows XP on the same machine by partitioning the hard drives without any system errors. Thank You

Reply: (edit)You could run XP on a Mac using Virtual PC. In which case you can run several systems at once (limited by available memory), as shown in 'Can Your Dell Do This???':

Reply: (edit)Of course, why would you want to run OS X anyway? The only reason Virtual PC exists is that Mac users can't exist without Windows. =P
