[Guide]Have your retail install+XPpro 32bit w/ GPT+MBR

[testmusictest]

If you have only a single HDD, and want to have bootcamp function normally.

Here you are.

 

You sh'd prepare first:

*Boot 132 disc

**Retail Leopard disc

***XP disc.

 

1. Boot it into LeoDVD retail, and use Diskutility to partition your HDD(!!This'll erase all your data!)

2. Partitioned as i. Mac w/ HFS+ ii. MS-DOS w/ FAT apply under the GUID partition table. This'll do the MBR+GUID partition.

　　2.1. This is for safe, maybe you can skip this step. Delete the FAT partition, apply. Add a new HFS+ partition, Apply. Erase it as FAT partition again.

3. Go with your retail DVD. After Boot into the Leo desktop. Install your drivers for your rig. Install the chameleon Bootloader for HDD.

4. Open terminal.app

sudo fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 <--no back slash at the end.

enter your password

"p" enter (without quote.) to print the partition table.

"f" to flag with the FAT partition's number active. I think it's 3, if you follow my guide. enter (without quote.)

"w" enter (without quote.) write the adjustment. confirm it with "y"

exit

exit

turn off terminal.app

Put the XPpro disc in and reboot you rig.

4. install the boring XPpro and drivers as it is.

　　4.1 And remember to have the chain0 for XP's bootloader to boot into Leo(You may skip this if you want Chameleon bootloader to control everything boot.). After everything done, put your Boot132 cd to boot back to Leo.

5. Open terminal.app (You may skip this if you want use Xp's boot loader w/ chain0 to control all things boot.)

sudo fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 <--no back slash at the end.

enter your password

"p" enter (without quote.) to print the partition table.

"u" enter (without quote.) to update the partition table info.

"f" to flag with the FAT partition's number active. I think it's 2, if you follow my guide. enter (without quote.)

"w" enter (without quote.) write down the adjustment. confirm it with "y"

"u" enter (without quote.) to update the partition table info.

"p" enter (without quote.) to print the partition table to make sure the change.(The HFS+ partition should be active now.)

exit

exit

turn off terminal.app

 

 

Memo: If you follow all my guide, w/ the partition you active, the boot loader will appear first. For example, HFS+leo active, you'll find chameleon darwin boot loader appear first. In other word, if the NTFS +XPpro active. The XP boot loader will appear first.

And these 2 way to boot the other OS will go to the other Boot loader first.

Like this:

I. HFS+Leo active:

Boot -> the Chameleon bootloader -> boot into Mac OS X w/o change. or Choose to boot into XP ->XP's boot loader ->Boot into XP.

 

2. NTFS+XPpro active:

Boot -> the XP's boot loader -> boot into XP w/o change. or Choose to boot into Leo ->Chameleon bootloader ->Boot into Leo.

 

Go.

p.s.: I'm also waiting for the new chameleon w/ beautiful GUI, So Great!! And I'll use only chameleon bootloader then.

This guy made a good guide but didnt emphasize that xp 32 bit only works on the 3rd partition in guid mode.
