So guys i have 1-TB HDD on which I've dual booted Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 and i bought another 160-GB HDD for testing and running different Operating Systems.

I just want to is it possible to install Mac OS X ( Mavericks ) and Ubuntu on my that second HDD and Can i run both hard disks at the same time attached to one PC ( One HDD with Windows 8.1 & Windows 7 installed and Second HDD Mac OS X & Ubuntu installed )or I've to remove one HDD in order to work with specific HDD.. ?

and as you can my hardware specs Does Mac OSX & Ubuntu both are compatible with my hardware or not ?

I would love to have some really expert advice on this because I've never installed linux & Mac OS X and not used those OS's before .

I think linux distribution (in this case, Ubuntu) detects the another SO in the system, and in the main boot you can select which one you want to start. its just magic.

If you install Ubuntu, it automatic detect another SO's. Ex: i own 2 disk's, one is with windows/data and the another with ubuntu, when start the PC, always boot the LINUX HDD (you can modify priorities in bios), when it starts, you will be able to select the SO to start.

If I got it right, you want to make an hackintosh, that is a very tricky thing to do, doable but not easy, your hardware needs to be compatible, even the motherboard, you need to investigate if your hardware is compatible on sites like this:

As for dual booting OSX and ubuntu... why would you do that? OSX is basicly a UNIX distro with better software comaptiblity

Thank you guys for replying so quick but i just want to know

if i'll run two HDD's at the same time on my PC from which I've installed Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 on one Hard Disk and Mac OS X & Ubuntu on Second HDD is it even possible guys to do that... ?

If i'll do so then will I've to change boot settings like boot from second HDD for purpose of running either Mac or linux / OR Simply boot from my First Hard disk for running Windows from it ?

Thou Jose Luis Lopes buddy i just want to run both OS for testing purpose .
