HERE is my prob......

 

I used Mac OSX 10.40.6 Tiger x86.iso

I abandonned the idea of installing Mac OSX on my internal partitionned HDD

Instead I want to install it on my Keyplug Pocket Office 40Gb

 

After reading many posts on different forums:

 

First I installed Acronis OS selector for the double boot

 

I formatted the Ext HDD with MacDrive6 in NFS+ as logical...

I then ran the install on my preformatted Ext HDD, (which MacOS recognized right away)

I choosed the options related to my computer (ss3 Intel, drivers for my printer, combo drive, wifi driver, usb audio driver, languages)

It went fine to the end of it...

If i try to boot on the Ext HDD (in the Bios)

Acronis OS selector sees only Windows as an OS and i can only boot on windows..

 

I supposed after reading many posts on different forums that my Ext HDD has to be primary to boot on it....

The thing is i dont know how to set it as primary...

In Acronis OS selector i couldn't convert it (greyed command)

In Partition Expert it doesn't even see the Ext HDD..... and no conversion tool from logical to primary...

 

I know i am gonna to run into some Hardware & drivers problems later, but i'd like to see Mac OSX running on this laptop ....

I know Mac OSX is installed (it took about 5Go on the HDD)

I wanna boot on it...

Any Tips or idea???.....

 

Thanks in advance for your tips!!!
