lordlex Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Hi, Has anyone try'd to make a modified AppleSMBIOS.kext that allways return the string someone sets in info.plist? Boot Camp read the info requesting that kext right? If that kext return the right strings then Boot Camp should run and let you partition the hdd etc... Maybe is not like that... so, if somone knows a solution post it here... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42049-boot-camp/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolBits Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 You dont need bootcamp for dualboot on normal pcs... that is just for macs Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42049-boot-camp/#findComment-300651 Share on other sites More sharing options...
munky Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 i think he wants to use it to resize his partitions, which is fair enough. however, it wont work, i suspect, because real intel macs use GPT (GUID Partitioning Table) whereas on hackintoshes we use MBR (Master Boot Record), because GPT isnt bootable without EFI. so im afraid your best bet would be some other resizing tool, or just the old fashioned backup everything and destructively repartition option.

macgirl Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Yeah, iPartition does not even work with MBR disk, only Apple and GUID schemes. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42049-boot-camp/#findComment-301014 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Am I right saying that PPC macs were/are using MBR ? At least, i'm pretty sure 10.4.3 intel dev kit were using it since it had no EFI and since it's the old disk utility we are using to format our HDD in HFS+. If so, wouldn't old partition softwares work on hackintoshes ? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42049-boot-camp/#findComment-301211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 ppc macs use apple partition table, iirc. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42049-boot-camp/#findComment-301213 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neonkoala Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Most of boot camp is directly tied into the EFI found on real Macs so to use it you will ahve to wait for an EFI solution from the MacEFIx86 team.

Any PPC Mac, Intel Mac, Hackitosh can use any of the Schemes, what does not work is boot, so if you want to boot on PPC Macs you need Apple Partition Scheme, on Intel Macs (the Dev kit does not count here) with GUID scheme, and PCs (no only hackintoshes) MBR.

lordlex Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 You dont need bootcamp for dualboot on normal pcs... that is just for macs I'm not so stupid... i know that... but! i wanted to use boot camp to partition the hdd and to have that good looking dual boot menu... and to prevent any fail after installing windows then osx then osx again then windows blah blah... or is because i find boot camp verry cool and easy to setup windows and osx together There are so many +'s So... we need EFIx86...

BondDotCom Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 the boot menu has to do with the EFI Yep. I've been looking into this, too. rEFIt on sourceforge has some cool screenshots of how the boot menu can look. Very cool! I understand that Intel has support for EFI on many of their newer chipsets (apparently my Intel 945 is one) but it comes disabled. Maybe we'll see a patch from them in the future to allow for enabling this mode.

lordlex Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 I've just remembered something. Does anyone remember the programs that adds support for new hdd on older bios? For bios with support for 10gb hdd max, that programs adds support for 20+ gb. Can be possible to make such a program that extends the bios? And this is something from the UEFI forum: [b]Q:[/b] [size=1][b]Does UEFI completely replace a PC BIOS? [/b][/size] [size=1] A:[/size] [size=1]No. While UEFI uses a different interface for "boot services" and "runtime services", some platform firmware must perform the functions BIOS uses for system configuration (a.k.a. "Power On Self Test" or "POST") and Setup. UEFI does not specify how POST & Setup are implemented.

macgirl Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Even that you manage to install Boot Camp (the program), it wont run because checks something else, also I think that even hacked Boot Camp only works with GUID Partitioned Drives.
