bafplus Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 after working on it for days i finaly got what i want. a dual booting 10.5.2 and Vista. here's what i encounterd and how to solve it: installation: Because the HP install erases the full first HD i first installed Vista on the first HD. After that i installed kaliways 10.5.2 on the second harddrive. because both HD are identical, dual booting was pretty difficult, however i found a simple way. - after installing Vista normaly, restart with the kaliway dvd. - after the language screen open diskutility in the top menu. - select the hd you want to install kaliway in (second drive) - on the right select "partition" - make 1 partition and format as extended (journald). - in the options select "use as MBR (not GUID!!!!). - make the partition. - just to make sure repair the permissions in the first aid tab. - klik on proceed and select the new partition to install MAC in to. - in the next screen select advanced options and select all the things you need. as far as i can remeber i installed all kernels, no sound, all network drivers, only the nvidio nvinject 756, and nothing more. - select ok and install OsX. - after the kaliway install, boot into Vista. - copy the "chain0" file from the Mac to the root of Vista c:/. (i atached it also to make it easy ;-) chain0.rar - open "command promt" as administrator (right click->open as administrator) - type: bcdedit /copy {current} /d "Mac OS X" (or another name that you want for the Mac in the bootselection) - type: bcdedit /enum active - now you see the statistics of both 2 harddrives, if done like above the last one would be the Mac HD.next to ïdentifier"you see a alphanumeric code that identifies the harddrive. type that code in the "code" in the next command. type: bcdedit /set {code} PATH \chain0 so it would look something like this: bcdedit /set {38912a-233fdf-45ghghhg-fdfe4} PATH \chain0 - type: bcdedit /timeout # where # is the number of second you want to display the dualboot menu, so in case you want 3 seconds type: bcdedit /timeout 3 - just to make sure reset permissions (diskutility, select Mac hd end click "repair permissions". - now reboot and viola...dualboot!!! drivers: after install you have no sound, no wireless, camera only seems to work half and the rest i didnt test yet. here are all the things i found to make the above working if available. i will try to keep this post updated if a make something work. SOUND: just install this driver...thats all ;-) ALC268_Installer1.zip after install reboot. WIRELESS: not working WEBCAM: not working FINGERPRINTSCANNER: not working PCI SLOTS: Untested BLUETOOTH: working out of the box hope this guide helps somebody, it sure did help me....
