    Hello,

    I have already Windows XP installed on my AOA150.
    And i don't want to format my harddrive and lost my Windows XP ...
    In addition there is an invisible partition who can restore my Windows on my netbook.

    If I want to install a retail Snow Leopard without reformating my harddriver with GUID partition.

    I found a way ... modified the OSInstall.mpkg file but It didn't work at all for me ...


    So can someone help me please ?

    So can you give some details as to what you were trying and where you got the method from? I have exactly the same problem even though I have OSX 10.5 on my disk the installer wants a GUID formatted disk and mine is set up as a boot partition and no go. I have way too much stuff invested in my XP partition to wipe it and start over.
