    yes its possible.
    the most convenient method its to have 2 HDD , one for windows and the other one for OS X. and chameleon bootloader

    Thank you very much, i have already red that tutorial.
    It's very clear, but if it is posible, then i will try it.

    Another question, i have red that ati mobility 5470 is not supported yet. If i install os x on mij pavilion DV6 3030sd, will SL work properly?

    if your video card is not supported the system could run, but you wont have the correct resolution and graphics... :/ , try to do some research about your specs and SL.
