Hello everyone,
Im new to the forum, but I guess I need a little help here. I dual booted my Macbook Pro about 3 years ago. Im running XP SP3 and Leopard 10.5.8. I just bought a copy of snow leopard 10.6.3 from eBay. I plan on Upgrading the Leopard partition of my drive this weekend.
First I would like to upgrade, and completely leave XP partition untouched, however I am unsure if this is possible? Do I just insert the DVD and let it run?
After this school semester, I would like to do a Fresh install of snow leopard again just to clean things up. I always like the feel of having a new computer, out with the old- in with the new type of deal. Possibly upgrade to Lion if I feel the need.
Can anyone please advise me from here? Besides backing up my information, do I just run the DVD as if I was solely upgrading the mac portion, since the two systems are different formats- I would guess that it would not override the windows format...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys (and girls)!
