Can Anybody Please Help Me With Getting Leopard and XP Working..

[THiRD]

What's Up IM,

I've been trying to work out my problems regarding running Leopard and Windows XP for quite some time now and I can't get BOTH to run right, only one.

 

 

 

WHAT I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DO: Run Leopard (iatkos v1.0) with Windows XP MCE flawlessly.

 

I do not have a Windows XP CD, all I have are the HP Recovery Discs which wipe out both hard drives, so I have to install Leopard after I install XP. After XP MCE is installed on the first (Local Disk C:) of 2 Hard drives on the computer I reboot and get to the installation of iatkos. Once in iatkos I load up Disk Util and I partition the second separate hard drive for use with Leopard (HFS+ Extended Journaled) and I make sure that I clean all the drives out correctly then make it MBR. I open up Darwin and I do that and then I hit customize on the installation and install the NVIDIA drivers and then go through the installation all goes well and when i reboot it says HFS+ Partition Error (w/o CD in) and w/ the CD in it goes to the Darwin iatkos loader where you can go into verbose or safe mode.

 

I think that the 2 OS are fighting each other, I also try and set the flag to boot but I still get the same errors. Can anybody help diagnose my problem?

Lol, anyone, I've been doing mass amounts of research but I really can't get a working solution and I'm sure this has got to be pretty routine. Please!

Use "Ghost" and back-up your windows, I guess you are having a second Win partition called "D". Then erase your "C" and formated as NTFS. Format the partition you like to install Leo in Fat32-Primary-active. Start installation of Leopard and chose EFI to MBR. After restart you will boot of with Darwin and continue installation. Enjoy your self. Later, with "Ghost" again bring back your Windows and you'll have a dual-boot system.
