Vishwas Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Hey guys... FOA... let me thank every single person on this forum...and especially those who have made OSx86 HAPPEN!!! Now, let me come to something I have achieved after 5 months of trial and error. I have 4 OSes now on my PC and I can boot each one of them individually when I start my comp. No VMWare Emulation ...nothing... plain Quad Booting. I guess what has helped me achieve this is the fact that I have 3 separate HDDs: OSes: HDD1 (80gig) Windows Vista + Windows XP + openSuSE 10.2 HDD2 (40gig) Apple OS-X Jas 10.4.7 on Primary (Active) partition of 10 GB, the rest being used by windows HDD3 (250gig) Software / Music / Movies...etc I use acronis Disk Director suite to achieve this and when it opens up, It gives me three options>> Windows Linux Other (this is actually Mac) I can boot into these choosing the OS I want. Whenever I click on Windows, it open the Vista bootloader which gives me the options: Previous version of Windows (actually WinXP) Windows Vista And the best part is that all drives and all partitions are accessible from any OS i select.... Thanks all you guys for making this an awesome experience of having 4 OSes working and Quad-Booting in one machine!!! 3 cheers for InsanelyMac Forum!!!

cbmkgd Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) Congratulations. But if one day AOSS goes bad on you (which happens regularly for some users), know that your Linux's grub can handle all of these. And even darwin's bootloader. As for "Other" icon in AOSS, you can change the name to whatever you want; just rename the icon. And while you're at it, if you use the retail version of Acronis Disk Director version 10.0.2117, you can change the ugly "Unknown OS" icon to show an Apple OSX icon by consulting my little AOSS tools. (If you have another retail version of ADD, you could use one of the later methods, or wait when I'll make a more universal tool; I'm waiting for a new version of ADD to test on).
