bryce00741 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I downloaded and installed iatkos 4i and installed it on my Dell XPS 1330. I am trying to dual boot 10.5.4 with vista. I used Parted Magic Live CD to boot to Vista, and it works fine. But when I try to boot to Mac, it says "missing operating system". I have followed the directions many times for multibooting. Here are the directions I followed: Multiboot: iATKOS 4i has no integrated procedure for multibooting but preparing a multiboot GPT or MBR system with this release is easier than ever. Here is a ''How To'' for GPT and MBR triple boot including Mac-Vista-Linux. - MBR (Master Boot Record) triple boot - - Change your partition table type to MBR (msdos type) and create 3 primary partitions by using Parted Magic Live CD or iATKOS Disk Utility. HFS+ format for OS X target, Fat32 for the others. Note: %99.99999 of the PC harddrives already have MBR partition map scheme (msdos type) which you can change it to GPT via Parted Magic CD or iATKOS Disk Utility if you like to. - Add boot flag to Vista or Linux target and install the OS' in any order you like. For linux, do not install bootloader to MBR, install it to linux root. - Boot iATKOS 4i DVD and install OS X to its target as usual. - Now you need to repair Vista. Add boot flag to Vista partition, boot Vista DVD, select repair, add boot flag to OS X partition, thats all. Now you have triple boot on MBR. Note: Adding boot flag to MBR partitions: Boot Parted Magic Live CD, right click to partition, select flags and click to boot. Can anyone help me? Thank you so much. -Bryce Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117735-problem-booting-to-1054/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
