kevingpo Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I've been reading: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=1753 guide for patching the DVD and installing it. It says that you have to install OS X first before you can install Windows XP. Is it possible to install OS X on a empty 3GB partition... with existing 10GB windowsXP (FAT 32) and 45GB partition NTFS - leaving the windows XP parititons untouched? If not then how can I setup MAC OS X x86 installer so that I can get 7GB for Windows XP, 5GB for MAC OS X, and the rest remaining for Windows NTFS archive?

kevingpo Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 Well, I did it the hard way. I backed up my 60GB HD from the laptop. Then I installed MAC OS X x86 following that guide above, for dual boot. I created 2 partitions. I selected the 2nd (bottom, last) partition and changed that to 8GB for MAC OS X Journal System. The first, top partition I selected free space. I hope that in this free partition I can use Windows to make 2 partitions, one for WinXPSP2, and the rest as a NTFS archive of MP3s and videos. Will this work? I'll let you know. PS: ONE THING, when I used Xplode's guide to install the DVD I was presented a installation options of "what to install". When I installed using the patched DVD guide I don't recall ever being asked "what to install". Anyway, hope the default install was alright. How can I install MORE, or ALL from the DVD that can be installed?
