Hey guys, I was wondering how one would go about dual booting Windows 7 and Snow Leopard off a laptop. My laptop is a HP Pavilion g series (don't know the model # as HP's shit assistant software won't work), and the specs are: AMD E-450 Dual Core, Radeon HD 6320, 4Gb RAM, and 500Gb HDD. Would that be sufficient for a dual boot? Also, does anyone know a good, safe software that can find my windows product key? And is there a way to repair the boot up issue without a Windows disk? As my laptop is running Home Premium and I only have a professional copy for my main rig, I don't want to buy a $100 disk for a boot repair. Thanks for any help!

The OS does not have native support for your system. Your best alternative (aside from the one we can't disclose, as g-unit mentioned) is to use a virtual machine. Some of them you have to pay for, and some you don't, but essentially, a virtual machine allows you to run the software within Windows (NOT dual booting, though).

Thanks anyways for the help! I probs won't do it then as my laptop can't handle a VM, and I don't trust many other sites other than here for things such as this. Thanks again!
