Has anyone done this yet?  I’m wondering if its worth me trying.  I hear you have to load it on a different HD but I got a 30GB laying around so I’m wondering if anyone has tried this yet and if it has the full capabilities as OSX on an Apple…

Nope, but I was thinking of trying it.  I already have all the files I need, but I don’t have an empty hard drive to install it on.

I have it all except the time to do it.  I like that you can choose to boot OSX or XP at startup :D I just wonder if it all works right cause I don’t want to do it all and have it be busted :(
