(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); if someone can give me a guide that is VERY simple to follow on how to install Mac Os X Lion (Just mac os x should be fine I think I dont know if it is different)

I have Windows 7 installed and I want that to stay installed I dont want mac osx to become my only OS
I want my windows programs not to be touched, I want them all to stay.

I know I will need to partition my Hard Drive, BUT is it possible tot install it to a portable harddrive at all? like a USB one?
If you have megaupload links to mac OS X lion then I would love it, I am downloading a torrent atm but it will be a while.

firstly, it is impossible (to my knowledge) to install os x lion on anything but an apple machine. there is a way to get os x snow leopard on a non-aplle computer, have a look here You must login or register to view this content.

that is the only way to get any os x on a non-apple machine Smile

please correct me if this is wrong Smile

Also your laptop has to meet certain requirements, for example, you need certain drivers, a compatible motherboard, etc. to install the mac-os. I would check to make sure you meet those requirements before purchasing the software, or however you plan on acquiring it.
As a side note, some of my friends have done this successfully and say that it will usually work with other laptops, around 3-5 years old, but i dont see why a new one coundt work.
good luck
