Kurto2021 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 My current setup is that windows is my boot manager. I have edited the boot.ini and added OSX to it so I can choose which OS to boot from. It is a small thing but I would like to choose Mac OS X and have it just start loading but it will take me to the Darwin boot manager after that and ask me to choose an OS. The defualt OS that is chosen is Windows and on the windows side the default is Mac so if I don't touch anything my computer will just go back and forth between the two boot managers. Is there anyway to edit the Mac boot manager so it doesn't ask what OS and just takes off. My second question is about sound from my realtek AC97 but I will keep searching on that one.

I encountered this problem a while back, and fixed it by booting int OSX -> Preferences ->Start Up Disk -> select Tiger-x86 and hit reboot. Warning: this corrupted my windows installation the first time I tried it. Had to reinstall windows, boot up to ubuntu, DD deadmoo's image onto 2nd partition, and redid the start up disk routine and now all works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaker Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 The simplest way to make a dual boot, it's the way that br0adband did in his patch installation guide... 1. Install Tiger from DVD ... before installation make 2 partition with diskutility on Tiger Installer... Choose first partition for Tiger... 2. Reboot after installation and verify if Tiger works well... 3. Boot up with WindowsXP CD... 4. Choose second partition (it may be showed as E: unknown partition..) Delete it and recreate partition... Once done, reboot with F3... Now you have new partition for windows... 5. When you restart Windows installation process, it will be showed as C: , so you can continue installation (of course, do not touch another partition with Tiger) 6. Once installation is completed, boot up with Windows (of course it can be boot up just with windows...) 7. choose start/execute/cmd 8. type "diskpart" this will reactivate tiger partition... 9. choose tiger partition and activate it... (select disk, select partition, activate ....) 10. reboot your machine, now you have only Darwin bootloader.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
