DjMark Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Hi there, i've been trying to install Mac OS x on my machine, but i havent been able since 2 days. I have xp and mac os x on another partition. i'm trying to boot it but it gives me chain booting error i've copied chain0 to c: and added string to boot.ini. with Partition MAgic i tried to set partition as primary but it gives me the error 2002 : There are invalid entries in the FAT. Windows Sees it as a FAT32 partition, but i used disk utility to format and it is HFS+. Even knoppix Live CD sees it as HFS+. Any help would be appreciated BTW. when i set the mac os x partition as active, the system keeps rebooting after 2 seconds at the beginning. Thanky you very much for your help N.B.: I have an AMD sempron 2800+ SS2 capable and 10.4.6 osx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41006-chain-booting-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then type "-v" for verbose boot and press Enter. Take a note what's the last thing you see before it craps out.

Schweppes Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I think you have to install in a "primary" partition, not "logical" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41006-chain-booting-error/#findComment-293264 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alucard! Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Are u installing the osx right packages? Is your computer osx capable? Have u tried over-installing with osx first partition and windows second? Is your Iso image burned at the low speed and do u have a right osx version?

All the answers in http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page thanks for your reply. first of all i've been reading for the packages and cannot understand what is this for. I checked in the wiki and my PC seems to work. I've also read that it is better to install winxp first and then mac os x, that xp always has to be first. I used 10.4.6 .iso version that i installed through VMWare now i'm grabbing 10.4.8 JaS version as it seems to be more compatible. Could you please point me to the right direction for "packages" ?

dvornik Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 First, choose only the one that says AMD... There's also a bunch of other add-ons, for Intel, for videocards, USB devices and so on (depends on a DVDversion). Make sure you go into those options, there's a Customize button on one of the screens during installation.
