Slither2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Beginners Guide to Software Raids on Mac OSX 10.5I'll try and keep it short and simple. What you'll need : 1 x Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD Latest Chameleon files. 2 x Identical Hard drives (SATA preferably) for your raid 1 x Spare Hard drive for that already has ANY OSX 10.5/10.4 on it. 1 x USB storage key (32mb minimum) 2 x Can's of Redbull or Coffee Questions Before We Start : 1. Why do I need a spare HDD with OSX 10.5/10.4 already installed??? From trial and error I've found that actually creating the raid is more guarenteed to work in the program Diskutility that both OSX 10.5/10.4 both come with. Now it is true that this same program is found on the Kalyway disc but I've never been able to make a successful raid and raid partition with it. 2. What is Chameleon and what or how will I use it??? Chameleon is the software that will fool OSX into thinking you have a Macintosh computer. More importantly it can detect Software Raids and allow you to boot from them. To use it you're going to pop the files on your USB storage key and manually patch/copy them onto your OSX raid installation. Sounds hard but really isn't....just requires patience. 3. Which drive will I boot from after I've finished??? This was the first question I had when trying to attempt all of this. There is a simple answer so please read on.....
