alex-nord-star Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 hi, i want to install Vista and Leopard in dual boot and don't really know how. Right now i have installed Leopard on my PC and i am thinking that by installing Chameleon bootloader 2.0 RC1 i will be capable to install Vista and everything will work ok . is it right what i am doing , or do i have to do it in an other way ? my motherboard : Ga-Ep35-Ds3 and i have one HDD.

Poco Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 After installing Vista you would need to set the OSX partition as active. iPoco Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/175457-leopard-1056-from-ideneb-and-vista-dual-boot/#findComment-1203332 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poco Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 No you should be able to load OSX first. Once you have installed Vista you can set the OSX partition as active by using the terminal commands: fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 flag 1 quit reboot You can either access terminal through the installation (time consuming), put the iDeneb DVD in and go into single user mode, or boot OSX using the DVD as the bootloader and then enter the terminal commands there. iPoco Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/175457-leopard-1056-from-ideneb-and-vista-dual-boot/#findComment-1203468 Share on other sites More sharing options...
