What I'd normally say:
You're not smart enough to do it.

What I should say:
You need a partition manager, and the image (ISO) of the OS you want to dual boot with.

For OSX86 see:
www.projectosx86.org

For Ubuntu see:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...98236&q=ubuntu


And yes, to answer your guys' thought, it was hard for me to actually help out!

Yes, I do. But ever since last week I'm on a tight leesh, and all the mods/admins hate me apparently so I can't take it too far. Be happy I even helped you.

PS try Linux, it's easier and less of a hassel.

It's easy to install, and keep in mind, I'm pretty impatient, so it was hard for me because I had to wait an entire weekend to download the 4GB ISO of OSX
