dponmac Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;hl=dual+boot 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!

wagnerm Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 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!
