you will not fine torrent as their is no one who has posted the torrent so you can only download it from RAPIDSHARE
......
the installing goes like this


you have to boot from cd first no need of boot 132 camp....
it will automatically boot from the cd....

then

it will start the installation.....
installation goes as usual....you have to first go to disk utility and format a partition for mac os x which should be MAC OS X (journaled) one..
then

click next
and go to customize.....option
then select all the components. As Required..or fill all the check box....
then wait for 20-30 minutes for the installation....
after installation ..goes write it will ask you for the restart...restart it....

then after restart eject the DVD from the drive.....
then again restart....your laptop...


after restarting the laptop it will ask you to press any key....but don't press it
let the computer perform 5 second it self...

after 5 second of waiting it will boot you mac os and then a screen will come that restart or shutdown your laptop or pc....

NOTE TO WORRY.....you have to just remove the kexts files for ati...
for that
restart the laptop then press any key whithin that 5 seconds....

then select the partition in which you have installed the windows 7 or vista....

it will now boot windows 7 or vista....

then after starting windows 7 or vista ....you need to download the software called
MAC DRIVE 8.0....

download from this link
RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting
or
for that go to google and search for it...but remember that you need to download only the 8.0 version.....

then install it...

this will let you open the mac drive in windows.....

and it will let you delete the kexts files.
..
double click on your mac drive...in my computer.
then
go to system/library/extension/

then find out the kexts for the keyword "ATI"

delete all the kexts files related to ati...

now it's done....

you have completed the installation of mac os.


now as usual restart the laptop and boot for mac os for that you need not to click within that 5 seconds...
it will boot autamatically the mac os....

ANSWER 1:-

NO i don't get the full resolution as their is no kexts files(driver file) for the ati mobility radeon 3670.

ANSWER 2:-

yes i have dual boot.....first no need to dual boot...the apple boot is designed that you can open window 7.....i am sure you will no lose any information of your laptop....

Answer 3:-

SEND ME YOU EMAIL ADDRESS I WILL MAIL YOU ok.....because the files which i am talking about are available in several forms on internet...
but all the forms of files do not work
so
i request you to send your email address to me i will send you the files and technique to install the programs ok...

thanks to smart18dharmit. I followed the instructions (except I downloaded the full Intel Only ISO from torrent; Also deleted the *ATI*.kext files from Disk Installer Terminal Window of the CD instead of accessing from Windows; Also I use Windows boot loader) and was able to successfully install 10.6.2 on my Dell 1640 laptop. The Lan, WIFI and the battery do not work. I installed iPhone SDK 3.2 on this. Please post them when those kexts are available.

Yes sure i will post when i will get the kexts files of lan,battery and WIFI....
THanks for reading my post and Applying in your laptop....
