morrison Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 i'm following the 'simple dual boot' proceedure by panic using IPC 10.5.6 final and i am stuck on the partitioning in the diskutility at the part were it says 'set the osx partition as primary' i might be blind but i can't see any option for this in my case i have a 500gb drive that i use for XP and i am just testing the osx installation on a 80gb before i go full time on anything i have had some success with the osx on the 80gb by itself (just some hardware issues like wireless) and i am pretty sure a dual boot is just around the corner its just setting the 80gb drive as primary. and maybe a timeout. am i right or is it a huge effort for everyone?

morrison Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 it would seem i was already in a primary disk however i just needed to set up the osx install on the same disk as the windows install perhaps it has problems with my raid array my slipstream of XP perhaps was not up to windows fine standards.
