serj Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I guess I could Is your 10gb partition logical? Some people use 'dd' method from under linux but I guess you would need to apply lots of patches so it runs somewhat good... My best choice is to use DVD if u have dvd writer it's especcially easy! -So u need to download dvd image from Bay burn it and install... -If u don't have dvd than download dvd image and use "VMWare to Native" Type of installation!

amp11 Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Yes my 10 gig drive is logical, i guess i will try from linux soon if i can't get windows to work. VMware to native eh? I would do that but the dvd image takes forever to download! I have tried like 3 times, but i guess a 4th wouldn't hurt. (i prefer demon to bay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mactogo Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 from my experience, native osx doesn't work well with logical partitions, you'll have to remove the logical partition and make it primary, use diskpart to convert your partition to id=af, boot the mac installer dvd, go into system untilities and convert the partition to journaled, install mac with the proper customizations, and keep your fingers crossed after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serj Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Sorry I messed up Logical with Primary Do you run image from DaemonTools or VMWare? It works only from Demon Tools! There's tutorial that I used: http://blog.adonias.cl/leer.php?id=78&Lang=EN You don't even have to listen to guy and u can skip all PartitionMagic steps(to boot Windo$eXP press F8after BIOS before the Loading Darwin...sign). Also don't bother yourself to format it right now you can do it in installer! =) ./SerJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwprod12 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 The main native install guide on the forums says in no uncertain terms to use a logical partition, and not a primary. I dont know if it would even work at all in logical, which confuses me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amp11 Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Im only at 60% of the dvd download and im going to use the vmware to native method,and am gonna install on my second partition, does this method include a boot loader? because i really want to use the nt one with the chain0 file.
