Opes Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hello everyone, I installed Kalyway 10.5.2, and i want to dualboot Leo and Windows, but i cant find a guide that has Leo already installed. Is that possible? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101787-leo-windows-installed-leopard-first/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Eggman Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Probably, but you'd need to install a 3rd party bootloader such as acronis or GRUB. --> the windows bootloader will over write the old one, and make sure that it don't format your other partition.

vineswingman Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I just installed a second hard drive and installed windows to that. You can choose which hard drive to boot from your BIOS menu (make sure it's not the same model AND capacity as your OSX drive). Easy!

Aries326 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I've got the same problem as you. I'm going to work on a solution this weekend. Or, if you've already figured it out, please share.

sdelano Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Just copy all of the efi bootloader files to a thumbdrive, boot into the osx installer and install the the efi bootloader like you normally would with the terminal in the installer. Really simple actually. Just go to the install forums and there will be instructions on how to install the efi bootloader, just apply that to the terminal in the installer. -sdelano Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101787-leo-windows-installed-leopard-first/#findComment-741636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wollygoggles Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Probably, but you'd need to install a 3rd party bootloader such as acronis or GRUB. --> the windows bootloader will over write the old one, and make sure that it don't format your other partition. I've installed Kelway OSx 10.5.2. I now wish to install Vista on a second partition. Would I setup GRUB before or after the Vista install? Any help much appreciated.

TomTom1 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I use Acronis Os Selector to do the booting things after everything is in place. Before that I just use Acronis boot CD to active the partition I going to install something in it, and hide the partitions that I don't want anything to be write(altered) or be known during the Win installation. (Don't need to hide the one that OsX in, Windows can't understand the format anyway.) I was install Mac first and Windows and Ubuntu. Currently I changed it, but here is my previous setting before I fool arround with my systems. Hope this could help if you still haven't find the solution yet. PS. If you install your Mac on the first partition, and don't wanna use darwin to boot others. Just Active the one you like in Acronis boot CD, and you'll be fine.
