herpaderpa Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 when you say XP install does this mean you've already installed XP, or are trying to install it with a CD?

DEFKT Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 when you say XP install does this mean you've already installed XP, or are trying to install it with a CD? XP Pro was already installed. now it will not boot. Obviously i may need to use some form of bootloader. but im not bothered if windows never works again, just aslong as this OSX install does. if i can get on internet, and use my sound devices, and all 4 cpus i wont need windows oh and have an english keyboard layout lol.

verdant Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 thank you. kalyway is only distro i have not tried, probably why all else failed huh. ill keep updates posted as i go with this one. Yesterday, I replied to you here explaining why you have to boot with cpus=1 and how to resolve..... The fact that you have to boot with cpus=1 invariably indicates that you have a "bad" BIOS and need a modded DSDT BIOS or have to overwrite the BIOS loaded DSDT.aml file during bootup.....so: 1. Run the Chameleon 2.0 RC1 or RC2 bootloader installer from here to install the Chameleon bootloader on your OS X hard drive..... 2. Get fassl's DSDT patcher from here (read the readme for instructions) to use on OS X on your PC to generate a patched dsdt.aml file that you should rename to DSDT.aml and then put in the /Extra folder generated by the Chameleon 2.0 RC1 or RC2 bootloader in the hard drive OS X volume.... We can work our way through your other issues once you can boot without using cpus=1....
