goodoporn Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I don't know how your hard drive is partitioned, but I had to completely reformat/repartition to get mac's disk management software to work (you can get to it by booting dvd and selecting utilities at the top, and selecting idisk). Here is what i did: Wiped the hard drive Repartitioned (3 partitions) First for xp Second for os x Third (very tiny) for acronis os selector Installed os x first (I had trouble installing os x after windows xp was all ready installed) Restored my XP partition (make sure you set this partition as active) Installed acronis os selector from windows That method worked perfectly for me, and I am now trying to get some hardware recognized. Some side notes: - Make sure during partitoning you go ahead and format the partition for xp and osx. That way when you install xp it will be drive C. - Make sure you select your correct package under the customize options - AND GOOD LUCK!
