I'm looking to dual boot leopard (any version) and WinXP on my laptop.

Laptop is a DV6500, specs are as follows....

Intel Core 2 Dup T7300 (2.00GHZ)
quanta 30D2 Motherboard
2GB DRR2 PC-5300 ram
Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS
16x DVD-RW Lightscribe
120GB SATA HDD
Intel 3945ABG Wireless

This possible? Any suggestions on what version of leopard to use or any suggestions at all?

Please could you tell me if its possible to change the darwin bootloader to boot from separate HDD's?

Boot CD please!

my processor is sse. will this work for me? or is any chance to put hackintosh on my machine? (amd athlon 2200+)

If you want to dual boot from separate hdd, use xp boot loader. the chain0 technique.

Hi, could you give me the bootcd please? thanks so much. my e-mail is mogigali@hotmail.com

G'day boinkytwo,
Great tutorial which I hope to follow through when I get your bootcd. Would you please e-mail a copy to me at rfincher@alphalink.com.au - thanks. I realise this isn't the place to ask questions but could you clarify 2 points made in the tute.

1. Can I use Apple's retail Install DVD Version 10.5 instead of the OSX 10.4.8 CD you mention?
2. My 80 GB HDD has a 46GB C:\ partition containing Win XP Pro, an 8GB D:\ partition for WinXP back-up, and 20 GB of unformatted free space at the "end" of the drive. Can I use this free space to create the two partitions required for OSX using your bootcd? Experiments with PM8.0 to achieve this were not successful.

Thanks
Rob

It is for osx86/hackintosh, the osx installer used, was a patched osx install dvd. The patched dvd installer should be use on a pc based computer, not an apple based computer.

You should use a patched version of osx.

For the partition requirement, a 6gb partiltion is fine. The hard disk requirements for a successful osx installation are the following:

1. the target partition should be set to primary partition, not logical. You can do this with the help of the bootcd.

2. the target partition should be at least 6gb in size.

***you may format the partition using fat32 filesystem, but never use ntfs.
***you may leave it as raw partition.

=========================================================

boinkytwo, thanks for the guide, will try this method myself soon, just wondering about the 3rd partition... or not. what is a good third-party driver/s/w to access OSX partition from XP Pro? because I would like to share large video files (for editing) between XP/OSX, and I'm wondering if a FAT32 partition can do that (like 12GB)? I'm thinking to use an external SATA for video data - can OSX write to ntfs using 3PT s/w?

Im booting mac using the boot.ini in my xp partition on my hard drive (disk0s1) using the C:\chain0="Mac OS X86" method and mac is installed in disk0s2. i was wondering if it was possible to change the information in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist so that when i select Mac OS X86 it boots it up instead of having the timer and you having to select disk0s2 from the little darwin boot menu that comes up. i know i can remove the time like this:

<key>Timeout</key>
<string>0</string>

but the only method i saw for automatically boosting disk0s2 didnt work, which was this:

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>rd=disk0s2</string>

does anyone know a way to set it so it automatically boots os x when i select Mac OS x86 from the boot menu?

would absolutely love to get in on that bootdisk action!

thank you very much!!!

12gb? you should use ntfs partition. and then install third party apps like paragon ntfs or macfuse , to let you write on ntfs partition under osx.

Hi,

I've already installed os x with efi on my hard drive on the first partition (I have 2 partitions, one for mac and one fat32). I would like to install xp on the second partition (and dual boot from darwin bootloader). Is this possible and which is the best way to proceed without destroying my existing leopard installation?

Thanks

i need the bootcd pls. my email is leu@galati.astral.ro or leud2k@yahoo.com

hey champ, would you kindly send me the bootcd please? skychurch@doramail.com

thanks!

hi please send me the bootcd. podtr@hotmail.com

thanks!

I have a similar setup as the one you spoke of in your guide, except instead of 3 partitions I have 3 HDDs. 1 for OSX, 1 for windows (xp atm moving to vista soon when i get to 4gigs of ram) and 1 for storage. I have OSX and windows already installed, but I don't see them on each others boot menus. I was booting to windows and so then i went into my BIOS and switched my HDD booting priority to the mac hdd and it worked! Then i wanted to go back to windows and switched it again in my bios and my windows wouldnt boot anymore .

So my question is if I set it up like you did will it work fine? and if so, please send me your bootcd. cbrockett13@gmail.com


Thanks in advance .

when it comes to osx86 and windows dual booting. it is best to put windows in the first partition of your hard drive, and osx in 2nd or 3rd partition or whatever you have in mind. just make it sure that it is not in the first part.i think you should now check your pm'snice rig!!! well, i can't afford to produce a rig like yours. hmmm....check your pm.here... try thesefirst, set your windows hdd as your 1st hdd (primary master that is) and set it as the 1st boot device. test it and make sure it is booting fine. if so,then follow the chain0 technique.2nd, change your booting priority to your osx hdd and make sure it is booting. if not, then use my bootcd to fix it. make sure it is set to active. if it is booting fine then proceed to the next step.3rd, change boot priority to your windows hdd and test your dual boot setup.

Could I get a copy of that mybootcd please?

HI Boinkytwo,

I would require your BOOT CD man.. can u mail it to jaykishankrkATgmailDOTcom please!!

on a side note.. can I TRI boot leopard on RAID 0 setup.. on an nvidia 680I SLI board? I have dual Booted Vista/XP on RAID 0 setup already, can i TRI boot with Leopard too?

thanks in advance...

cheers,
Jay

SIMPLE SOLUTION!

OK, I found these instructions work perfectly.

But, I did run into the 'b0 error', and 'HFS+ partition error'

I suspect many others made the same mistake as me.

Please make sure when you create a partition in Disk Utility, it is MBR - you can select
this from the +/plus switch (for options) when creating the partition. If you already
created the partitions, carefully... select the disk, and select, Partition, and choose
1, 2, or however many partitions - BUT DO NOT APPLY. Then go to the +/plus check
mark to confirm if MBR or GUID is selected - that is, most likely, the setting used when
you created your OSX install partition. When you have discovered that, back out of
the partition option, create your OSX install/HFS+ partition (if needed) and close Disk
Utility.

I used Kalyway 10.5.2, but what you need to do is select 'Customize' and make sure
the boot loader option is set to MBR, presumably same as you set above. I found I
had not, and this kicked up the b0 error, and later HFS+ partition error (when
I had fumbled to try and fix the boot problem using Fdisk and set partition active - of
course, it was already set active, and the MBR inconsistency was the problem!)

dude, you may try it. i don't have any RAID Setups for now, to make the test. I dont know any kexts or maybe osx86 distro that can support RAID Hardware or software.




all boot cd request, all done!Check yer pm's

Hey man,
having setup the RAID in Hardware BIOS would mean that i am using software RAID setup.. i haven't done much homework on that yet.. so let me confirm this straight.. does creating RAID 0 or Stripe partition through nvidia RAID utility in BIOS is not tested to limits and henceforth cannot be guaranteed of a positive outcome .. am I right??

dude, like i said... i don't have any RAID setups meaning i'm not so familiar with it in setting it up for osx and windows multi boot. how am i supposed to test multi-booting when i don't even have the resources to test with.

and again... i've mention before. i'm not so sure about software RAID when it comes to osx86 booting.

but then, since you have the resources. better make the test and some trial and error thing to achieve such goal of yours. and when you done it, share it to us.

zip format is for l4m3r5?

....


sitx?


can't u simply paste the damned bootfile?

gh


ok ok


sry, one day for the installation a another for the dual boot. i'm sick.




thx!

could you please email me the My BootCD to rmojo23(AT)Yahoo(dot)com

After a second attempt I got this working as per guide, using Kalyway 10.5.2 and XP Pro.

Also installed Leopard Graphics update, NV inject 0.41. I found the Kalyway Combo
update did not work, so I used the Netkas/Kalyway 10.5.2 update, and updated
the vanilla kernel (I might have not followed correct procedure with the original
attempt, but anyways, it works now)

Thanks boinkytwo.

I have a couple of issues/questions:

1)

I made the partitions 50GB / 50GB / 800GB (approx., using Samsung 1TB disk)

1st partition is NTFS for XP Pro
2nd partition is HFS+ for Leopard
3rd partition is NTFS (using Paragon software to read/write from Leopard)

I went to install FCP and tools, and found the 50GB HFS+ partition is too small.
I'm familair with resizing partitions under Windows, but what do I need to do
to increase the HFS+ partition size (say to 100GB) without causing boot problems?

There is no data on the 800GB partition yet.

Silverstone TJ-08 (black)
Gigabyte GA-G33M-DSR2
Intel E6600
2GB Cellshock PC8500
Tagan 480W PSU
Scythe Ninja
eVGA 8800GS
Samsung 1TB SATA
LG SATA DVD/CD-ROM
2 x 120mm x 38mm Silenx iExtrema
Dell 2408 FPW

for hfs+ repartition issue, read on this topic

or you may opt to delete your osx part and the 800gb part and then repartition it again. with this process, you will be able to increase your osx partition. but you will have to reinstall osx.

or

you may stick with your current config and let fcp use the 800gb part as scratch disk or temp directory and storage room.

Hi,

could you send me your boot-cd? do I have to burn it or can I put it on a Stick?

Does the tutorial also work with Kalyway 10.5.2.?

Greetz, kear

hi boinkytwo,

thx for this tutorial. i used variation b and now i have a working xp and a working
10.5.2 on my acer notebook...
i´m a noob in os x and don´t know if everything is working. the only thing is that
i have problems with my onboard realtek soundcard... do you have any idea what i could do abou that?

greetz, kear

Can you please send me the BootCD at husain_24[AT]yahoo[DOT]com. Thanks in advance.

Having a pain setting up a dual boot, would be nice to grab your disk if possible!

Tah muchly.

/edit - scratch that - I installed partition magic on the windows partition and then followed the rest of the instructions and it all looks good! Thanks!

could you please email me the boot cd at spookers622@hotmail.com
