all bootcd sent...


anyone... help ferrybotte

it' s not my fault

thx anyway

is in your opinion the "uphuck_10.4.9_v1.4i_r2.iso.zip" a good version,

consifdering that it is just 1.1 Gb, or is it a fake? do you know something about it?

uphuck_10.4.9_v1.4i_r2.iso version, is a trimmed off version.


ppc files had been removed.

whats left are the intel files.

printer drivers were also ripped off from the installer.

-----------------------

bootcd sent

so what does it mean?

may it work or not?

That is the same version I used, I can't say if it works, as I still can't get past my mobo logo screen. But it installed fine.

my problem is still that it does not see the hd

...

i will find a solution: i am already looking in 3ds with similar problems

-------------------------



ok check this out:

i have copied & pasted the content of the external usb

drive (where the mac osx was installed) on my hfs

partition of the original internal hd:




this is the outcome:


[img=http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/9761/desk209xh5.th.png]

as you can see -I have used MAcDrive to see the mac hd-

i have the osx installed on my hd (in theory) but, when i

try to boot from the hard disk (having already set this g:

partition active)

the sistem says: "NTLDR Missing - press Ctrl + ecc to

reboot"


any suggestions?

Ok, i got everything to work. Using the windows chain0 method I can boot XP or OSX but when I choose OSX from the boot menu it starts up darwin and then goes back to the XP boot menu after 5 seconds unless i press enter and manualy choose OSX on (0,2). It seems to me that darwin boots XP by default. Is there anyway to make XP not show up at all in darwin? Great tutorial by the way.

thx for the cd..
i followed your steps, but the disk utility just wont format the unformated partition i created for osx,..
i select MAC OS Extended (Journaled) and click erase but it doesnt change the format and the name..
any suggestions?

/edit:
got it working, formated it with acronis to fat32 changed it to shagOS, now the disk utility could erase it.
but now i get the login application error,.. so i guess i have to start over with another verison (i was using xxx .10)

I followed your guide for a dual boot install. It did not seem necessary for the 10.4.9 Uphucks install which already has the Darwin in it. I did follow your guide modifying the boot config file in XP but I think you need to modify the filename or modify you guid. The filename is not chain0 but c_h_a_i_n_0.stix. So wouldn't the line you add be c:/c_h_a_i_n_0.stix and not just chain0 as you posted?

Anyhow I renamed the file to chain0.stix and added the line both as chain0 and chain0.stix and neither one will boot to Hackintosh, it boots right back to XP. Hackintosh is what boots first not XP not sure why? I get a message to hit enter for boot options and when I do I see the different partitions I can boot to. when I choose the XP partition it boots to xp and when I choose the hackintosh partition is boots to that. I never did anything to put Darwin's mehtod of booting , 10.4.9 Uphuck's seem tohave it already in place?

So not sure if the the entire tutorial is niecessary for 10.4.9 uphuck's? Maybe just for jas 10.4.8?

I only used the part of the tutorial about how to partition the hard drive into three in my case 4 because dell has it own little partition. Not sure why I need the last partition as FAt32??

Anyhow hackinstosh installed fine and I got the dual boot.

c_h_a_i_n_0.stix IS AN ARCHIVED FILE.JUST LIKE ZIP OR RAR FILETHEREFORE, EXTRACT IT FIRST USING STUFFIT EXPANDER.




EDIT: FILE EXTENSION IS NOT STIX IT'S SITX

Sorry about that I am new to Mac. Never used it before and getting support on IRC channels is useless.

Can I use WInrar to unpack it? Does Stuffit Expander come stock with 10.4.8 Jas?

Right now I have to transfer files over to the x86 hackintosh machine and I have to transfer files over from XP onto a Flash drive.

SO what is my best bet?

I still can get dual boot don't get me wrong. Its just looks funky. I don't see the XP boot screen I see the HAckintosh boot and just before it boots sais hit any key , I hit enter key and I see the partitions so this seems to work ok for now. Just cosmetics I suppose?

Edited Post:

I figured it out. You can get Stuffit for windows as well. Not trying to be a smart a... but remember people trying the Hackintosh on x86 systems may not be familiar with all MAc OS details so maybe a mention that the file is a comprtessed mac file that needs to be extracted might have helped some.


Ok back to the BOot sceen. I still have to hit F8 to see the different partitions then when I hit the XP partition I have both a XP choice and MAC OS X choice and now the OSX choice boots into the Hackintosh.

BUt the intitial boot does not bring me to the XP splash screen it still goes right into hackintosh boot if I don't hit F8 or I Enter.

So whats wrong at this point?

Ok thats pretty confusing, Ill fraze my question differently. I know you can edit the xp boot menu by changing boot.ini on the windows drive. How can you edit Darwins boot menu?

so boinky my dear,

the installation finally worked fine, but i still have a problem: I have tried to modify with sudo in the editor but when I entered my pswrd, I did not understand I was typing because nothing appeared:

so now i cannot go on through the installation process because i don't remember the pswrd


what can i do?

thanks a lot

ale

ferrybotte, Just type in your password, you really wont see it.

just press enter after typing it.

------------------------------------------

boot cd sent..

the problem is that i already have typed the password,

but i don' t remember it because i did not think I was typing it.


now the problem is: how can I do to erase my former password?

if you cant remember your password, then youll not be able to remove or change it.

try to make a new admin account.

go to systemp pref, then accounts, and then create new accounts. everthing is pretty straight forward, just like windows account creation.

thank you I'll try

boinkytwo,




Anyway I can get this boot cd as well? Its not bootcamp is it?


I already have PArtitionmagic on Ultimate Boot USB. I think its version 8.05. Is this the same as yours , if not can you send me the file to?

How will I be able to manipulate Windows VIsta Home? I want to shrink the partition. Will PM 8.05 Work and if nto what is out there I can use?

I have gparted Live CD will that work?

Thanks very much, it works.

A big problem was to open the packed chain0 file from windows. You need the Stuffit Expander Deluxe which you can only try if you give them your credit-card-number (they will charge you automatically if you don't cancel within 30 days, very s****).

Plz use more common formats like .tar.gz or .rar if possible...

HI.
I once dual booted XP & OSX 10.4.6 jas...but I didn't use a "boot CD" as you mentioned...
So I was wondering upper versions ,such as 10.4.8, all need the cd??
Does ithis method work for 10.4.9 or up?
also, Here's my email
OPPS. i found the cd on page 12~~

thanks!!

sorry to ask, but could you elaborate a little on what we have to do for step 5 of the windows xp loader section? im a little confused, thank you!

i am getting this at diagnostic mode:



Sytem halt at above point and not going further.

Any Solution for that...?

My specs are:
Mobo = intel DG33FB (ON board graphic and sound)
Processor Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33GHz, 2331 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)
HDD WD 200GB Sata (native mode as IDE)
File System = Running xp64 and vista64 as ntfs.

chain0 file should be copied and pasted to the root of drive cthat is you windows xp partition.chain0 file is also available from the install dvd of tiger.

would this work with mac.nubs dvd? for some reason when i insert it, and go to disk utilities, i cannot see my harddrive on the list, only my DVD drive. what cvould i have done wrong? its partitioned, the first with xp, the second none formatted, no letter, primary, 8gbs and the third is unallocated space. thanks

my computer is an 8510p btw runnin xp

Thanks Visionary & Boinkytwo!!

I have Xp already installed on Disk0 Partition1, and OS 10.5 installed on Disk1 Partition1 (2 seperate drives). Is there anyway I could just add some lines to Windows' boot.ini file in order to have an option that points ot Disk1 instead of 0? Right now I just use my motherboard's F8 Boot Menu but I'd rather have my Mac partition available in the Windows Bootloader.

Soobasically my question is, how I can I do this without having to wipe either my Xp or OS 10.5 installations?

Edit: Nevermind I just did the Chain0 trick

hi,
i've got tha same problem as aaron.
i used the chain0 method, but when the xp boot loader appers, and when i choose osx i returning back to the same place --- xp boot loader. if i want to boot with osx i need to manually chenge my disk - 2 partition with osx.
please help.
my xp partition is primary and active, osx is primary.

Does this method still work for 10.5.2?Does this method still work for 10.5.2?

Ive tried both kalyway and iAtkos and both dont reconize any of my HHD's or partitions any help or suggestions?

make sure you the following setups:

1. put chain0 in c: drive
2. edit boot.ini and insert c:\chain0="OSX"

It should look like this:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Media Center Edition"
c:\chain0="OSX"

*** you may substitute osx any name of your choice.

3. Reboot and try.


IF STILL IT DOES NOT WORK, TRY READING THIS AGAIN

Hello Boinkytwo. Thankyou to post such a wonderful guide. My email id is yamron9@gmail.com. Please send me your My boot cd. Thankyou. Pls reply ASAP.

sorry I'm a bit of a newbie at this, I already have kalyway and tinyxp on seperate hard drives, if I want to switch from one to the other I have to change the hard drive priorities in the bios.

Is there anyway I can edit the darwin bootloader or the windows boot.ini file so I don't have to go into the bios every time I want to switch.
Any help please ?
