Elproducto Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I have successfully installed Leopard via Retail DVD. I have one drive and had to repartition using GPT (GUID Partition Table) to get this to work losing my current XP installation in the process. I made 4 Partitions as follows: 1 HFS LEOPARD INSTALATION 2 WIN XP 3 FREE SPACE (FORMATED FAT32) 4. MAC OS INSTALL DVD (RESTORED TO PARTITION FOR QUICK INSTALL) I have my XP partition backed up using Paragon Drive Backup. So I restored it to the second partition. When I reboot Chameleon DFE Does not list my XP partition. Do I have to change some setting or is there a step I am missing to ensure my XP partition get listed in Chameleon.

moser Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 make sure that ur XP partition is primary as you are on single harddrive there can be only one PRIMARY ACTIVE partition.. m not sure about that but sounds right. but it can have more than 1 primary partitions btw why dont u try defualt bootloader.. if you have only one harddrive you wont have problems booting xp from it atall.. when darwin starts press f8 and then it will list current drives.. including xp(ntfs/fat32) ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elproducto Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 I installed the new Chameleon RC2 and it recognized my XP partition. Now I have a different problem hal.dll is corrupt or missing. Oh well will give me an oppurtunity to reinstall with the AHCI drivers for my SATA controller. I am using the Darwin Bootloader but it has not reckognize my XP partition.
