Roders Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Previously had an IDE drive in my shuttle hackintosh duall botting XP and OSX witht he darwin bootloader,. taken out my old drive formated the new 1 wiith two pations using the UID scheme (used MBR before) 350/350GB (i.e. half n half) but windows onlt see's 127BG to install on (and one partion), so deleted this partion recereat a 127gb partion installed XP, and now when I boot formj my MacOSX DVD it will only "see" the 127GB Win XP partion to install no. In Disk utility I can see the whole 700Gb of the Drive, but to sue it I have reformat and wipe my P instal, the only currently created/visable partion that OSX see's is the 127GB Win XO one, not either of the two partions I originaly created, anyone know how to sort this?

interix55 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Uhh, Do a fresh Windows XP installation, Format the 750GB drive during the install. Next when your in Windows XP use partition magic or something similar to split your drive into 2 NTFS partitions. Now reboot make sure in windows you can see the 2 drives, also it doesn't matter what you name it now or if you give it a drive letter. Now that everything is lookin cool, reboot and go through the osx86 installation. At the menu where it shows you the distro specifics information before you choose the drive to install on go to Disk Utility in the top menu and find your second partition (the one without XP on it lol) Now format it as you'd like and name it. After close out and continue as normal!! After the installation it will have the Darwin bootloader with Windows XP and OSX86 options. NOW Windows will not see your mac partition only Mac will be able to view and use your Windows partition. Hope this is simple enough! Truthfully I'm not even sure what your questions wass!

darkspearxz Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 You needed to install the SATA drivers during the install of OS X. This happened to me too, but after I got the SATA driver it was fine. Also if your IDE Disk drive doesn't work after this, I could give you a driver. - Have a Day!

Roders Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Thanks 4 the replies, the 127Gb limit was due to my XP install cd being pre Sp1, I've created a slipstream install which solved this prob, burt shortly after I got a kernal panic in OSX on my Old HD and now it wont boot OSX (& I've fsck'ed the hell out of it) and my Kalyway install DVD's gone south too (just getting loads of read errors) Win partition working fine still on same HD though, and can read CD's and DVD too; even kalyway DVD with Macdrive enabled :-( have Downloaded Leo so will reinstall with that.
