Dualboot XP, OS X, Native, XP First

This is what you need;

Partition Magic 8 (or any app like it)

UBCD 3.3 (or just any app bootable that can handle partitions)

The Patched markland-tiger.iso (generic install patch 1)

of course, a pc running xp

so this is what i started of with;

1 Partition for storage -> Disc0 partition1

2nd Partition for XP -> Disc0 partition2

I used partition magic 8 do downsize partition 1 by 10gb's

then, used diskpart to create hfs+ partition of 8 gb's of the unallocated space with the

"DISKPART> create partition primary size=8000 id=af", make shure you have navigated to the right disc though. look here -> http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...F2003_method.29

This pushed my partition nr#2 down and actually made it partition nr#3 and created the new hfs+ partition as nr#2

Edited boot.ini using the chain0 method and put my XP partition as nr#3

Used the "Osx86 generic install patch 1" dvd to install to the new HFS+ partition 2.

Rebooted and watched my pc boot in to OS X by default.

Booted with UBCD 3.3 and changed the boot partition from 2 to 3 using some partition app under "F3".

Used the win xp bootloader to get into the darwin bootloader to boot OS X.

Works like charm!

hardware:

Abit IC7 Mobo, Intel 875P chipset, Socket 478

Intel Pentium 4 3,2 ghz (Prescott, SSE3)

Realtek "Family" Nic 10/100 Mbits

Geforce 3 Ti

Seagate Barracuda SATA disc

sound, lan, firewire and USB2 working flawlessly!

os X uses the full HFS+ partition size and can acces both ntfs partitions.
