How to install Windows in place of Os X

Insert Mac OS X Install Disc (this part should work with OS X 10.4 Tiger or OS X 10.5 Leopard discs). Reboot. Hold down C key during reboot Do not start the install. From the Utilities menu, select Disk Utility. Select your hard drive from the list and then click the Partition tab / button. Click the Options button and select “Master Boot Record” as the partition scheme. Click OK. From the Volume Scheme drop down list, select 1 Partition. Select MS-DOS (FAT) for the format (not that this matters since you will reformat it using NTFS during the Vista install). Click Apply. Reboot. Hold down the Alt/Option key turning reboot. When the graphical boot menu appears, hit the eject button. Take out the OS X Install Disc and put in your Vista with SP1 install disc. Proceed through the Vista install. When you come to screen titled “Where do you want to install Windows,” select Disk 0. There will be a message saying that you cannot install to that disk because it is not formatted using NTFS. Click the Drive Options link. Click the Format link. Click OK in the confirmation dialog. Now select Disk 0 and click Next. The Vista installation should proceed as normal. Once Windows is installed and loaded, insert an OS X 10.5 Leopard disc and install the Windows drivers from Apple. Thanks to "Derek Hatchard's Information Flume Ride".

OSX Finder: Sort Folder Before File

Most of switchers getting used with how windows and linux sorting folder and files. Under Windows Explorer or Gnome Nautilus or KDE Konqurer, folder have a priority and displayed first before files if your order by type (or kind under Mac OS X).

Mac OS X is more logic than other OS; under Finder, filetype .dmg (or any filetype starting before alphabet F) will display first before folder since folder filetype is folder (and starting with alphabet F). LOGIC, BUT MAKE ME SICK!!!

Instructions how to fix it:

1- open terminal
2- paste this into it:

sudo vi /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings

3- type in your password
4- type 'a' (this will allow you to edit the file)
5- edit so line 7 looks like this:
"Folder" = " Folder";
6- Press escape
7- type ':w' to write
8-type ':q' to quit
