mac_maestro Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 If you have chameleon, you don't really need Boot Camp. I have 2 partitions, one Leopard and one vista. When the Darwin Bootloader shows up, I click any key for options, and I see my Leopard partition and my Vista partition (it has a weird name - mine is called SQ004680V03 for some reason, although I never named it that). So if you have a windows and a mac partition, and you have chameleon, that's all you have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckplumber Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 does anyone have parallels or vmware fusion working on their hackintosh with a virtual vista or xp install?? Not sure what you mean by virtual install, but I have Parallels running on my hack. Use xp, vista and ubunto linux. Just install and away you go.

It is possible, I used to run that way. After my last "upgrade" I decided not to, but in the docs with Parallels, it tells you how to do it. Simple actually, provided that you have both installs on the same disk. I'd 'splain, but it was a while ago. Try it with Parallels and if it fails, I remember that it tells you where to look in the docs. That is what i did and it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWiiGuy Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Boot Camp, to my knowledge, does NOT work on a Hackintosh. It probably never will either as long as PC's use a BIOS instead of an EFI, as Boot Camp relies on the boot rom firmware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
