Hola people

I became interested in Mac and decided to install it on my laptop, on Gutsy's place and also make sure GRUB Loader will be erased. I already posted on Ubuntu Finland's Forum but I think they can't be of any use.

I already know that one way to get rid of GRUB is to rewrite MBR, the Master Boot Record, but that would erase the whole HDD.

As a matter of an additional info, I run XPproSP2 on first partition of the drive, Gutsy is second partition. XP must remain inplace.

You don't just decide to install "Mac" on a computer. If you are using or attempting to use OS X on a computer that is not a Mac, then you won't find any assistance on this forum. Doing so or attempting to do so is a violation of the EULA and illegal activity of that nature is not discussed here.
