How would adding Hackintosh capabilities after the fact work on a custom pc?

I figure at some point my 160 Gigabyte drive might just work fine (even though its IDE, someone has to have figured this out) for adding the Mac OSX system and I was wanting to keep my native windows on my bigger 1.5 terabyte drive.
I would just download everything, maybe need to find someone who has a 4 gig thumb drive or something but i was wondering how motherboard bios changes might affect my already native windows 7 system that I would MOSTLY use or can I set up bios profiles and change easily? Never tried doing the hackintosh thing but wanted to try with what i already got cuz its totally free.

i've never heard of bios profiles or being able to have multiple pre-set bios settings
not sure what if anything you want set differently between the two operating systems...

You need to set your shit to AHCI mode in the BIOS. In Windows 7, unless your BIOS was set to AHCI when you installed it, you won't have the drivers. There's a simple process to install AHCI drivers for Windows, and then you can dual-boot no problem.
