VISTA AND OSX on DELL

 

Success! dualboot vista and osx on dell 4600. used JaS 10.4.6 and profit42 guide.

installed 4 times before I got it right.

selected intel patches.

installed fine, but (obviously) wouldn't boot.

used vistaboot pro to remove all items in the vista bootloader except vista!

used mbrwiz to clear the active on vistas partition and set the hfs+ active

booted into OSX!

in com.apple.boot.plist (/library/preferences/systemconfig/) added the quiet boot key and set to "No", and added the timeout key.

rebooted.

Darwin loader came up, and gave me 3 options-39mb fat16, 25gb ntfs, 10gb darwin/x86. both vista and osx boot fine. Now, its time to install XP!

worked great for me, this tutorial is nice and very clear, easy to understand even for the noobs. Thank you so Much :D

 

i still have some pbs with my ATI X 300 mobility card, i have tried all the tutorials available in this forum but no way, it won't change de screen resolution.

always the same pbs "no kext loaded", i'm getting mad.

I also have pbs with my internet connection (wg511t, atheros card and broadcom 577xx ethernet card)

 

here is my configuration:

Dell Latitude D610:

centrino 2 ghz: fsb 533, 2 mb )

nec dvd 6500d +- burner

sigmatel c major audio (worked great)

intell pro wireless 220 (not working)

wg511t netgear wireless pci card (atheros, not working)

broadcom ethernet card 577xx ( not working)

bluetooth device worked great.

 

If someone with the same configuration can give some advices, eveything will be perfect.

Thank For Sharing Knowledge

 

I'm using JAS 10.4.6 version

I completed a WindowsXP install on my dell. the dell will boot fine into the Vista bootloader (w/both xp and vista) using darwin, creating a triple-boot. The only issue is that trying to boot into XP from Darwin gives a "bootmgr missing" error. I thought pulling XP into Vista's BCD would help, but it did not. It would be cool to boot all three OSs from Darwin, and not have 2 bootloaders.

 

UPDATE- copied ntldr and ntdetect.com from the i386 folder on the xp cd to the xp partition, and copied boot.ini from vista's partition to xp's. i removed XP from BCD, and now i can boot into all 3 OSs from Darwin!

Hey, I'm having trouble with every method I've tried. I originally wanted to just install OSX on a separate HD, but the Disk Utility on the Goatse disk didn't recognize the any hard-drives, regardless of what kind of partitions were on it. I then gave up on that, and installed WinXP on a primary partition, along with Acronis Disk Director Suite 10. After I installed Acronis OS selector, I rebooted, and the OS selector would hang. So, I'm back to square one. I tried hooking up an external USB drive, and it still didn't detect any hard-drives, whatsoever. I have a Asus P5WD2-E Premium, and in order to install WinXP I have to install ASUS SCSI drivers. I don't know how I would accomplish this with OSX's install, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Questions

1.How can I tell if my PC supports SSE2 or SSE3?

 

2.Is this the right ISO to start with?

 

3.Can I install the Mac OS X on the SLAVE HD?

 

4.Does my PC support Dualcore?

 

5. If that is not the ISO that will work with my PC, which one shall I use? And where can I find it?

 

Can anyone help me please :)

 

i believe i mentioned answers to pretty much all of these questions at the beginning of the guide, did you even read it? :)

Hey everybody! Im brand new to this x86 project, but after reading this awesome article (kudos to the author!) i think ive got the hang of it. However, would someone be so kind as to help me out and tell me if this method could possibly work on my computer, or is it not possible. i have everyhting i need (Mac OS X 10.4.6.x86-HOTiSO and the other software) but i need to know if my comp is good enough. thanks!!

and SiS 648 chipset

and my card is nVIDIA GeForce 5600 64mb

 

thanks!

 

unless your hardware is well known not to work, its really hard to tell if my guide will work or not. just try it.

I am about to give this a try. I have a Fujitsu N6210 Pentium M 1.86, 1.5 GB DDR2 RAM, 80 GB HD, ATI Mobility Radeon x600 128 MB. I will be using the 10.4.6dvdpatchedmyz.iso. Previously I tried to install my vmware image onto my usb drive and of course it didnt work, but at least I found out that darwin recognizes my video card.

 

Wish me luck.

 

Btw, even if this doesnt work, I think your tutorial is the best I have found online. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.

Success for me... :)

 

Installed OSX 10.4.6 JaS on my AMD 3200+ (Socket 754), 1 GB RAM, gfx 5200, MSI Neo mobo.

 

First re-boot and into OSX. Used the hacked LAN driver found on this forum and machine is as good as my XP. Sweet!!!

 

Thanks for the super easy guide... :(

I just tried that way : it works ;)

 

works with 10.4.4 patched by myz and 10.4.6 from jas with PPF1 patch

 

i tried to setup the 10.4.4 one directly on a primary partition and it didn't work to get it boot :-/ making logical than converting was th key :)

 

i just need to get my i855 graphic to be in 1280x800 but i still have no way to do it :-/ and my internal laptop soudcard to be recognized(ALC658)

 

laptop specs: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/not...ail.php?UID=604

 

attached is laptop within Mac OS X with a nice freen background which looks better with the green power button :P

 

edit:

now got sound working with 10.4.3 kext and no ati kext in extension folder

OS X partition in like this:

 

[XP 15go NTFS] : primary

# Begin on extended part

[40go NTFS] : logical

[ubuntu 4.2go ext3] : logical

[1go Linux Swap] : logical

#end extended part

[OSX 12go HFS+] : primary

[beOS 3.5go BeFS] : primary

 

i'm not really sure about partition size but it should be something like this ^^

dilnalomo, chalk up another success. I am brand new to any of this, and I just tried your method, and it worked FLAWLESSLY. I am still wrestling with the sound (need to install Sigmatel patch), but other than that, works great!!

 

Wireless mouse worked right away, as well as track pad. I have an Intel GMA950, so graphics worked great without any tweaking (widescreen worked at boot). Unfortunatley, no onboard wireless :(

 

 

JaS 10.4.6 OS x86 w/Maxxuss patches

1.66GHz Intel Core Duo Processor T2300

Intel® 945GM Chipset

1GB RAM

 

Oh, and the partition that OSX is on is between an XP MCE partition and a Vista Beta 2 partition, and works fine.

Does anyone have an idea about how I can get this to work if I normally have to install Asus SCSI drivers when I install Windows OS's?

 

if think you can't get it to work execpt if the install DVD have the correct kernel extension to support it

 

you can also try to find a supported PCI IDE/Sata controller that cpuld be recognized. maybe you can try setting it up on an USB drive (don't know if it work i didn't try).

 

if you have a working kext for your SCSI controller, try to set it up on another womputer or VMWARE then transfer the drive (or dd the virtual drive) on your computer (make sure to have install the kext for your SCSI controller before)

From reading that thread about dual core and duo core i dont quite understand since i am using centrino duo, will it work? If not how do you disable one processor. And also i Have heard from a friend that sata has issues when installing, is this true? Just wanted to make sure before i install.

I got it to work:

 

JaS Mac 10.4.6

Toshiba Satellite M70

Intel Centrino Pentium M 1.73 GHZ

Realtek AC97 (working)

Intel PRO/Wireless 2915 (not working)

USB Ports Working

Keyboard and Trackpad works expect for tapping

 

Is there any solution to get the laptop screen to work? I have the Intel GMA 915. I am using the 1-6/2-12 pin to get it to display on the laptop.

Ok.. I set up Acronis correctly, and the OS Selector, and then I created the logical FAT32 partition, no problem, and then burnt the image MacOSX_10.4.6DVDPATCHED_Myz.iso to dvd. I set up my bios, and booted to disk. I immediately get the error: System Config File not found '/com.apple.Boot.plist'. What is this?? It seems that the disk is looking for a file on a legitimate installation... and not finding it. Have I downloaded an .iso that was not patched?? Grr. I have been working on this slowly since Saturday and now that I have everything together I really want this {censored} to work. I am going to try downloading another .iso, but I wonder if any of you people have ideas?? Also I will try installing from my usb DVD-R.

 

Thanks in advance.

I have figured out that I can press F8 and this will get me to the boot command. But now it is just wierd. It lists just one device to boot from, and it says "Ethernet Device" or something like that. WTF?? I suppose os x might not like my teac dvd drive. i havent yet tried to boot with my usb dvd-r. I will try that now.

 

Also, I tried inputting "mach_kernel.nonx. That did nothing.

 

Thanks.
