Doctor-X Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I have a Pentium 4 Prescott 3GHz, 2Gb, 2 HDs, Motherboard Asus p4v800d-x and a 8600GT 512Mb. I really wanna install 10.5.2, but I´m affraid because I don´t know how install with dual boot. If I could install Windows and Mac in same HD or when I install Mac, it will first boot. I don´t know. Please help me. Anyone knows how install with dual boot? My hardware will run? thanks for the patience and sorry by the English.I have a Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD Intel AMD...

thefinalprophecy Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Since you had 2 HDD's, I would say designate your second drive to OS X and leave your first drive with Windows. Your motherboard should have a boot disk selector menu (probably press F8 when booting) and it'll give you a menu to boot to any disk/drive. Once you boot to the install DVD, format/install to the correct drive, restart, use the boot menu to select the correct drive with OS X on it, and hopefully it'll work.

mrg273 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I am building a new on Monday when the parts come in. I will be installing Vista Ultimate 64bit on this machine. I currently have two HDD 500gb and 250gb. I was planning on doing a dual boot on the smaller HDD but now after some thought I think that I will buy a smaller, 80gb, HDD probably a raptor, and install OS X on there. Would I install this the same way I install windows? I am assuming so since I will not be dual booting. I will most likely use the suggestion you made above Thefinalprophecy. My question is will this work and second will my 3rd HDD, 500gb, which has no OS on it just information, be accessable from OS X & Vista? Thanks.

BigPimpin Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Why anyone would voluntarily install Vista is beyond me. Nevertheless... You most certainly will be dual booting if you expect to choose between windows and osx when you boot. You can put OSX on any drive. There is an optional kext floating around somewhere - probably included in Kalyway - that gives you read-only access to NTFS partitions. There is a way to access HFS+ partitions from Windows but it's not free. It's not exactly like installing Windows because there are multiple ways to configure the hard disks. Windows uses only the MBR scheme. With OSX you have to choose either the MBR scheme or the GUID scheme. Do NOT choose the GUID scheme if you want Windows to operate with your disks. Verify that Kalyway gives you a choice when installing it. All the different flavors of the installation discs present you with different options when installing, some use different defaults than others. Read very carefully about others' experience installing the flavor you're going to use. The sticky topics in the Genius Bar are good for this. At one time (like a couple of months ago) there was a problem where only 2 SATA disks would be recognized. I'm assuming you have SATA. I seem to recall seeing something recently that said this problem had been resolved, but I'm not sure where exactly. You have a lot of reading ahead of you! Good luck.

StrikeDaMic Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hey guys, I learned about the possibility to install Mac OS X Leopard about two weeks ago. Upon further research, I became really interested in installing it on my new PC (will be assembled in about two months). I am a musician and not very wealthy, thus installing a patched install is the best solution for me I plan to dual-boot Win XP Pro and Mac OS X 10.5.2 Leopard. The specs of my PC will be: Motherboard: Asus P5K PRO, Intel P35, Socket 775, 1333FSB RAM: Mushkin XP2-8500 2x2GB Kit, DDR2-1066, CL5 HDDs: Western Digital Caviar GP, 7200rpm (2x SATA) CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 GPU: EVGA e-GeForce 8800GT Superclocked Do you think these specs will work? Will there any additional kext's etc. be necessary? I learned that certain chipsets/manufacturers are problematic. I did some research and found out that Kalyway would probably be the best solution for me. I would reset the theme with Virginizer. Do you think I'm going to be ok with that? Any help greatly apperciated. Thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100513-how-to-install-kalyway-1052/#findComment-802838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
uPod Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 hey strikedamic you might be better off making a new thread mate and putting your specs in there, but from I have read the Q6600 and 8800GT's work well. the mboard is always the biggest issue afaik.

StrikeDaMic Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Thanks for replying. Have you heard anything specific about the ASUS P5K PRO? And neg/pro experience stories with Kalyway?
