Hi All,

I'm really happy with my Kalyway 10.5.2 install, it's brilliant as a matter of fact! I have 2 separate drives, one has OSX on it and I want to put XP on the other.

However, I'm getting a message telling me that my main OSX drive is not compatible (or something of that nature).

Can anybody point out an easy way to install XP after my OSX install? I see plenty of info installing OSX on XP, but none the other way around, is it possible?

Thanks!

That's strange, so when you're running Windows Setup it doesn't see the other drive where you want to install XP?

Disconnect your Kalyway drive, and then connect the drive that you want to install XP on. After that, boot into BIOS, making sure that your optical disc drive is set as the first boot priority. Then, load up the XP installer, install normally, make sure that everything's working, then apply the chain0 method. Shut down, and then make sure that your XP disk is connected as the primary disk, meaning that in BIOS that it is shown to be booted up before the Kalyway drive.

You should have an XP & Kalyway dual booting system. Create a backup just in case things go awry. wink.gif
