Wow sorry for the late comment. You can reformat the hdd to get your MBR back to normal :D. Using a Mac works the best but you can also use a PC. Also, you have to partition your HDD into two parts. Then you install Mac on one and Win 7 on the other. Good Luck!

It can be any computer. You might need to change some options.

It just depends on your computer. For this one, the only distro that worked right was iPC. iAtkos is a pretty good distribution though.
