Make sure no other system formatted drives (such as the Mac OS X USB drive you will create) are plugged in when you attempt to install Windows 7.
This will partition the drive using MBR that’s what you want, fa sho. Alternatively, you can pre-partition the drive under the Kalyway boot or by using gparted disk partitioner. In order to avoid this, you can click “Cancel” when the message pops up about Windows automatically adding files/a partition. Note: when you format/partition under Windows 7, it creates some kind of System partition. First, I installed Windows 7 from scratch, with a fresh partition and a fresh format.
I loosely followed the gizmodo dell mini 9 tutorial.
Install Windows 7 on freshly partitioned and formatted disk.
Note that this tutorial does not use the Kalyway DVD for the actual install. You can probably do this using a Linux utility or you can do it if you have an extra Mac laying around, but I did it by temporarily booting to the Kalyway OS X DVD and then following the instructions for creating the USB boot drive. Next, you will have to create a bootable USB drive with Leopard on it. įirst thing is first, get setup by burning the CDs and DVDs that you’ll need. I purchased my Inspiron iM10-008B at Best Buy for ~$330. Here’s what you’ll need to accomplish this task: Natively booting OS X and Windows 7 on a hella fine Dell Mini is initially challenging but well worth the reward of being the coolest nerd on the block.
