Gujal Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 You dont have to change the settings everytime. Whatever setting you are doing for OSX86 is fine for XP except one, namely AHCI SATA. For Vista, the OSX settings are perfectly fine Also leave speedstep enabled for both OSX and Windows. Windows will use it and OSX without speedstep kernel wont bother about it So you can upgrade XP to VISTA or If you need to get the XP going without changing BIOS setting, you may have to reinstall XP. Basically set SATA to AHCI and you have to press F6 during install to load driver and use Intel Matrix Storage controller driver floppy if you have plugged your XP Drive to Intel SATA or Jmicron driver floppy if you have plugged your XP harddisk to Jmicron. Get driver floppy from Intel site or Jmicron site accordingly Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100315-dual-booting-with-p5w-dh/#findComment-721707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
