dannyf Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hey, i have another problem. I finally got Kalyway 10.5.1 installed on an external hard drive but im having problems booting into it. heres my partitions in their hard drives: Internal Hard drive Windows XP-1st Partition Unallocated Space-2nd Partition External Hard drive OSX Leopard-1st Partition NTFS Logical (Spare for Windows)-2nd Partition I tried the chain0 method but it told me to add this: C:\chain0="Mac OS X86" But the problem is my OSX install isnt on the C drive, its on the E drive in the first partition. Would i just change it to: E:\chain0="Mac OS X86" but wouldnt i then need the chain0 file on the OSX partition? Which i cant do because it is in the hfs+ format and windows cant access it like a normal NTFS/FAT32 drive. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDRacer48 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 What the C:\chain0 means is that you will put the chain0 file from your OSx86 install disk in the root of your C:\ drive. So what is happening, is that you are directing the windows boot loader to the chain0 file on your C:\ drive, and the chain0 file is pointing to your OSx86 install on your second HDD. So, just copy the chain0 file from your OSx86 install DVD to the root of you C: drive, and add "C:\chain0="Mac OS X86" to your boot.ini file (or whatever it is) and reboot, then you will have an option, pick Mac OS X86, and viola, OS X.

dannyf Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 Thanks, but when i try that my pc just restarts. doesnt even boot leopard when i hit enter on the OSX 86 boot option. Thanks anyway Edit: Ok, before it loads osx, it goes to the darwin screen loading all the files etc... it gets to this message "BSD root: disk1s1 major 14, minor 4" and then it just restarts the computer back to the OS selections screen.

dannyf Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 OK i forgot to set my OSX partition to active, so i did in command prompt. But now when i boot into OSX, it gets to the grey screen with the apple logo and restarts the computer from their. Damn, i thought i had it this time.
