    Right now on my laptop (see sig) I am running vista 32bit. I want to run windows 7 64bit, but really want OSX on it. Now before everyone go all crazy, I have another hard drive from an old laptop and its an 80gig. I was thinking of just swapping out the one I have now for the 80gig and install OSX or 7 on it. What I plan on doing is swapping the 2 hard drive between each other meaning like when I need to use OSX or 7 ill put that hard drive in and just take it back out and put the 320gig when I don't need to use it.

    So the question is my laptop going to have any problem with me switching between two HD? Like when I switch back to the original HD will my laptop boot up like normal? I'm not planning on swapping often, its just I want to know how well OSX and 7 runs on my system. Also, have experience on using final cut pro and OSX.

    Anyways, if something need clarification just ask!

    ~thanks

    Ok, this thread is closed. We can't talk about running OSX on non-Apple hardware. Sorry guys.
