atzero. Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Okay, I havent tried to use Acronis to boot from a DVD but I'm guessing you shouldnt. Okay, start from scratch. Make 2 partitions, one for mac, one for XP. First install mac, then after that, install Windows XP to the other partition. Windows will take over the MBR and pretend Mac doesnt exist. Thats good. So, after that, just use the acronis disc and install os selector. After that you'll see both show up on the selector screen (mac's boot will say something like "Unknown Os" just rename that to Mac OSX for cosmetic's sake.

bonbof Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I`m a lucky user of Acronis OS Selector. Works fine on my rig. Maybe u should check ur DVD is bootable at all? U know, BIOS setting and stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
