dyesober Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I can't dual boot. As of now, I've uninstalled everything and am running only Vista Can somebody PLEASE tell me a step by step way on how to dual boot Vista+10.4.8 because if I try by myself anymore I'll end up just trashing the Jas disk. Wowwww this is so frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerak Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I wound up triple-booting Windows, OS X, and Linux. That included the Vista bootloader, so my advice is to install Vista first, then OS X via some guide that gets your partition set up right, and then you can use the OS X boot loader to boot up Vista... or in my case, I think I installed LILO to the MBR. Ah, you do need to know that the OS X boot loader will require a little configuration. Use your OS X cd to boot into your OS X installation, and then modify the config file to have a longer wait than 0 before it tosses you back to the windows boot thingy.

dyesober Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 See, I tried that whole installing via a guide thing bro, and it didn't work for me at all, so I know I musta done something wrong. But I've tried lots of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerak Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Well, I'm far, far from being a guru. In my case what happened was that I couldn't boot into OS X without the install disk. As it turned out, that issue was remedied by simply changing the bootloader settings -- it was one of those .plist files, I believe. What's going wrong with your installation?

Colonel Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 You're trying to install a hacked operating system onto hardware that it was never designed for. It's not supposed to be a walk in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyesober Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Well everyone I finally got it working. Only problem now is Dell 1390 Wireless, and my sound. Anybody know solutions for those? I can't seem to find any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
