dullo Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 First off, I have Kalyway's 10.5.2 DVD and I know it works on my PC with my hardware and everything. I just need some help with dual booting Kalyway's DVD with my Windows XP I already have installed. I have a 320 GB hard drive with Windows XP on a 150 GB partition. I'm planning on using the rest of the drive for OS X. How exactly should a go about dual booting? What bootloader do I need? Can someone help me out?

Maximus Arelius Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 This sounds like it's really not gonna be worth the trouble but it worked without a problem for me. All I did was installed kalyway 10.5.1 on a partition and then took an iAtkos disk and used the EFI bootloader on it (i think its called Darwin boot I believe) After I had done all that everything worked fine and it also solved the problem with me only being able to boot with the disk inside the drive. If you have any questions on it just contact me alright.

MacNutty Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 The same method worked for me also. I installed Kalyway 10.5.1 and then Darwin boot loader from iATKOS and then updated to further versions without any problem. The only problem I think will be because of Windows XP. I have Vista and Vista has the ability to repair itself when there is an error while booting into Windows. I doubt about XP as XP does not have this repair facility like Vista.

Mac Ninja Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 iAtkos is another distribution of Hackintosh. The most popular are Kalyway, iAtkos, and Leo4all, and each has its different versions. You only need one, but if that doesnt work you can try using others. P.S. If you can't seem to find much help using the search function in the forum, try opening google, and searching site:insanelymac.com "search term".
