StrokeMidnight Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Ok, I'm about ready to install OS X. I have an external hard drive that I'm planning on testing it with. I'm actually mainly a Mac user, this is my first Windows computer so the external hard drive is formatted for Mac. I was planning to partition it on my iMac, and then hook it up to the Windows and put iATKOS on it. I want to use Chameleon as the bootloader, so what do I do? Can anyone give me a simple list of steps or tell me if this is correct? 1. Partition my external drive (Should I do it in Windows or OS X?) 2. Install Chameleon 3. Put the iATKOS disc in and restart the computer 4. QUESTION: When the computer restarts will it automatically say Boot from disc or do I have to press something? 5. I boot from the disc. 6. I follow the Mac OS X installation instructions. 7. Finish? Is that all I need to install OS X with Chameleon 2.0? Also, how do I switch between the operating systems, is it like in bootcamp where I hold a key during start up? By the way, I'm running a Core i7 setup, if that makes any difference. Thanks! Sorry just one more question, which is better: iATKOS, iDeneb, Kalyway, or iPC? Can someone PM me a link to a good torrent of one of those? Thanks in advance! I'm really looking forward to running this . EDIT: Ugh sorry one more question. If it works on my external drive I'm going to buy an internal drive for OS X. Do I just repeat the installation process for that drive? I would delete OS X off my external if I install on an internal. Would that mess anything up? Here are my specs if they are helpful: Dell Studio XPS 435T: Intel Core i7 920 Processor 9GB RAM Radeon 4830 (something like that) Windows Vista 64-bit Intel X58 Motherboard (pretty sure, Dell doesn't list it on their site) I think that's all you guys would need.
