Dual Boot Mac OS X + Win XP

[wagnerm]

Hi guys...

 

I`d installed Mac OS X in a clean new 40GB HD

I used 25 gb for mac and left 15 gb free.

 

Now, how I install win xp in this 15 gb free space?

boot with win xp cd, install. next next next... then after login in xp

configure the c:\boot.ini to show me Mac OS X?

 

i`m affraid to install and can`t login in mac anymore.

How can i configure this dual boot?

 

thnks for help

its a full thread on dual booting..

 

I just started doing this yesterday, I found XFdisk to be the easiest for me.. Just download it here http://www.mecronome.de/xfdisk/download.php , then copy it to a floppy or bootCD, then restart the computer with it in and set it up and then voila! dual boot!

yeah...

what I had to do was only after win xp installation.. use the gparted live cd, and back the boot flag for the mac partition

then the pc reboots with the mac operation system selector!

very easy!

tnhks guys!
