mistry Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hello all newbie here (hehe) I have JUST installed iATKOS v2.0i on my Dell Dimension 4550; everything went lovely and smoothly. I then used the GParted Live CD and found that my Leopard Partition was already bootable; so that was all gooood. Then. I edited my boot.ini file BUT! (da da daaaaaaaa) I cannot boot from the Leopard Partition without the DVD in the drive; even when it is it opens the installer by default. What else can I try??? So. I get the boot menu screen where it asks me to boot from XP or Leopard. I press leopard (well i wouldnt press xp that would be boring). BOOM. The screen goes black, and then the computer restarts. I try once more. No boom. The first BOOM was also fake. It restarts again. I am unhappy. Anyone for ideas, tea, biscuits, anything? I thank this wonderful community in advance. I have put my thing on the hardware section of the wiki. I am the second person. just thought you'd like to know Erm if anyone could help. Please. I've seen the one where you install 10.4.10 and then use this next dvd to install the leopard blah blah. I don't particularly want to do that, so any help would be fandabeedoessssseeeeee! Thanks!

mistry Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 I think its because these forums are packed with new topics every hour that some posts are never replied to.
