Windows 7, if deployed normally, uses MBR partition table. MAC OS X uses GPT. The coexistence would be tricky to dealt with for a GPT-only system. If you are one of the people who deploy Windows as GPT then I don’t smell any error arising.....

But you can always plug the hard disk in and do the command “sudo dd if=/dev/youroriginaldisk of=/dev/yourtargetdisk”!
