chiefsalami Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I've followed the process in the wiki, including using the custom xom.efi file for the 20" iMac. However, once Windows boots and I am at the partitioning screen, it does not look as it should. The partition that I had formated as MS-DOS during the first part (installing OSX), gets erased by the bootloader and shows up as "unpartitioned space" in the Windows installer (the log screen says ERASING for any MS-DOS partitions it finds). Therefore it doesn't have C: next to it. I can go ahead and install it there anyway, but then it won't boot and complains about an MBR error. I suppose this has to do with the fact that the Windows installer always puts boot files in what it thinks is C:, even if the Windows installation actually resides somewhere else, like say D: or F:. Can someone help me? What am I doing wrong? Is there something I need to do so the bootloader does not erase the existing MS-DOS partition? thanks!

chiefsalami Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Someone please help. Looks like several of us are having problems installing on 20" iMacs. How did you guys with 20" iMacs accomplish the install?
