caracols Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Worked great! No OS Selector needed, just by using a FAT32 logical partition then converting it on the installer's disk utility it installed, rebooted, then worked. No logical to primary conversion needed.

cdickinson66 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) I can't get this to work. I installed each OS on separte Hard drives but Acronis will no let me setup the 2nd Drive (mac os 10.4.3) in the menu . The OS wizard doesn't find the OS ... on the ShagSwap Drive 2 "No new os is found in specified partition. Try to change boot partition or boot sector file name." ???????

ericts Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 great guide! but i've encountered a problem, i tried reading as many pages in this thread as i could, but it's so long! i'm installing with the JaS 10.4.8 patched dvd. installation goes fine, but afterwards when i reboot it goes through the gray apple screen, but then freezes on a light blue screen. i didn't let it sit for very long, so it could just be thinking. has anyone else had this problem or know how i can fix it?

DRKRONNIN Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hello All, I'm Having trouble installing OSX86 on my computer. I Have an Emachine T3508 I followed the directions so far and created a partition using Acronis disk creator. When I try to boot from the osx86 dvd it goes to the gray screen with the apple logo then a prompt says that I must restart my computer. It doesnt go past the gray screen the prompt just stays there until I reboot. I tried using three different boot disks: 10.4.3, 10.4.6 & 10.4.8 the same thing happened each time. I'm not sure if I did something incorrectly in partition magic. I created a partition from unused spaced the partition size is 70.31 GB and I set it as Primary Fat 32. I don't "understand how to do this step: So it's best to set up your OSX partition after a primary partition like this: Windows XP | OSX | backup |" In Acronis my disks are listed in this order NTFS (C:)/ RECOVERY (D:)/ MAC OSX86 (J:) Could this be my problem also theres a green flag on my osx86 disk. I'm pretty sure my hardware is compatible cpuz says that I have intel celeron d 356 and the mobo is made from intel model# d101ddc If anyone has any ideas what my problem could be it would be greatly appreciated.

dilnalomo Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 Windows XP | OSX | backup | this means that it is best to have partitions in this order. first is your windows partitions, then your osx partition, and last, your backup partition if you have one. maybe you should try making your osx partition before your recovery partition. because your recovery partition is most likely a logical one, and osx doens't like being installed on a partition after a logical or extended partiton.

DRKRONNIN Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) I didn't create the backup partition it was already there when I first booted up Acronis Disk director. Should I delete it and create a new one after osx. Im not worrying about data loss I just reformatted my computer today so i could free up my hard drive. I get a screen that forces me to restart the computer about 30 seconds after the gray apple logo appears. Could it be a problem with my dvds or a corrupted .iso? I burned all of them with dvd decrypter, I figured if the .iso was bad it wouldn't boot to the apple logo at all right? IM using verbatim and philips media btw. I tried changing my partition from primary to logical with no luck. I also tried setting the osx partition as active in acronis disk director. Update: Hey Guys I just insatlled windows xp pro and Im planning on installing vista some time tonight or tomorrow. Im also downloading another OSx86 .iso this time the gotsecx dvd and the Jas .iso. Im going to burn those to a disk image using another software and try to dual boot OSx86 with vista after I do a clean Vista install. I Probally reformatted my comp about 4 times in the last few days. BTW this is the screen that I get when I try to boot OSx86 it happens with all the DVD's I have so far. It load for about 30 seconds and this screen happens UPDATE: Hey Guys Well I'm partially done the dual boot process now I have installed Vista and Acronis disk director so now the only thing left to do is install osx86 (Fingers Crossed). I downloaded and burned two new .iso's that Im hoping will work with my system the dvds I downloaded are: Mac-OS-X-10.4.7-AMD.Intel-(JaS)-ISO-Repack - MacOSX_10.4.6_GoatsecxDVD.iso I looked at the wiki and my hardware is supported i have an intel D101GGC with ATI Raideon Xpress 200 built in. I wont be able to get to it until later today but ill post as soon as I get everything up and running dilnalomo get ready to update that success counter (Hopefully) Edited January 31, 2007 by DRKRONNIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
