In Topic: How to expand OSX partition

03 January 2013 - 05:17 PM

I solved this by backing up an old USB HDD, formatting it as GUID Mac OS Extended, CCC my OS to it, installing Chameleon, booting off it (So very slow! USB 2.0 2.5 inch), and CCC back to reformatted SSD and reinstalling bootloader. Works like a charm.

Thanks for trying to help me, but for some reason could not get a partition of a 3TB HDD to boot.

That only differed to my method with 'bs=4096' so I tried the commands within OSX first, got boot0 error again, then I followed your instructions to the letter with the USB -  dd'd boot1h to disk2s3, and still no luck. :|

Thanks for your suggestions

I tried reinstalling the bootloader to that partition both manually with terminal and with the installer.
All I get when booting is:

boot0: GPT
boot0: testing
boot0: error

It is a 3tb drive and I'm using the 3rd partition.

Thanks for any help

In Topic: i5 vs i7 for Virtualised Gaming

02 December 2012 - 12:38 PM

I checked recently and virtualised windows gaming is now a reality with Vt-x and Vt-d at near native performance. The Vt-d enables IO resources of the gfx card to be assigned by the system direct to the VM. Parallels and Vmware have made significant strides in 3D acceleration.

However I could go that route as well, as long as I could also get that Windows install to boot in a VM too. Its just so awkward dual booting if your main system has lots open. Thanks for the reply
