EmSquad56 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I can't type in the terminal for some reason because it keeps freezing up on me so I need another route to be able to dual boot my system (OSX/XP). I have read other threads on how to do this, but I have a small twist.... When I turn on my computer (Dell Dimension 8250), I get an error like this "Cannot load Operating System" or something along those lines. Is there a way to boot using an XP cd...without running that damn Chkdsk and be able to use the windows booter...or get into XP and install a program that would help with the dual boot. Basically, I'm trying to get around having to use the OSX86 boot cd because it freezes on me. thanks for your help ahead of time Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41186-dual-boot-osxxp-is-there-a-way-around-darwin/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
manw Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 you should try the Acronis Disk Director Suite. It's a great tool, and the OS Selector works like a charm.
