Dual-booting Windows 7 and Mac OS X Mountain Lion?

Is there any way I could install Mac OS X Mountain Lion on my laptop and dual boot with Windows?

 

If you have a Mac, yes through the bootcamp functionality. If you have a PC, there may be a way through the Hackintosh route, but I do not know enough about it to give you a step by step.

 

Do you know if it's possible to hackintosh but dual boot with Windows?

 

it might be possible, check insanely mac forums for more details on that, it involves a LOT of work, and in the end it might not work at all.

 

Hmm, I'm up for a challenge

 

Might be easier to run osx in a virtual machine tbh. Have you considered that or do you need something more intense?

 

that would be the wisest choice.

unless you are confortable with fiddling with your bios and emulating a EFI (OSX only boots in gpt), putting a new bootloader (have your mbr handy just in case!) and some other tweaks with drivers (that will give you a lot of headache)

 

Last time I tried that, I was unable to run it full screen with 768p on my M11x (now dead) is there any way to get that working?

 

I only did that years ago in thinkpad that had similar specs to the mb, actually even the cpu was the same number. So Yeah it was plenty though, but I did it. As I said go for insanely mac and check the threads in there

 

I really hate dual or multiboot. I also dislike having to reserve disk partitions. I would much rather store the OS inside a virtual disk file.

Since that is a challenge for other non Windows operating systems, virtualization is a reasonable alternative. Running OS X as the primary and launching an instance of Windows when needed is my preference. Fusion makes it pretty trivial to run Windows, Windows Server, and Linux.
