CraigularB Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Hello everyone! This is my first time working with the OSX x86 project, and I need a couple questions anwered before I'll feel comfortable proceeding. I already have WindowsXP installed on my primary drive, and I haven't installed OSX yet. I don't want to make a partition on this drive for OSX, however. I have a second hard drive that I'd like to use (I'd partition it with the GParted LiveCD), and I was wondering if there were any special flags I need to put in the boot.ini file to use chain0 to detect OSX on my second hard disk after I add the "C:\chain0="Mac OS x86" line. So, my setup would basically be: HDD Master: XP drive (NTFS) HDD Slave: OSX partition (HFS+)/Data partition (NTFS) If I can't use chain0, I did download WinGrub, but the instructions that came with it aren't very clear for me...If someone could point me in the direction of a WinGrub installation/configuration guide, or write one up and post one here, that would be great. Thanks! -Craig Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28384-dual-boot-using-chain0/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezoflip Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 save chain0 in C:. In boot.ini add the line C:\Chain0="Mac OS X86" "Quiet Boot"="Yes" .

CraigularB Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 save chain0 in C:. In boot.ini add the line C:\Chain0="Mac OS X86" "Quiet Boot"="Yes" . Should I do that before or after I install OSX? Thanks a lot!

phor2zero Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I did NOT add the "Quiet Boot"="Yes" line. I have the timeout set for 5 seconds. I have 5 seconds upon booting to choose XP or OSX, or else it boots into XP.
