Hagar Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Yes. there are a number of multiboot tutorials already on the forum. ( http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=3111 for instance ) Try searching for "dualboot" or on the wiki http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...uides#Dual_Boot for your booting convenience, use the "chain0" method, http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Chain0 Good Luck.

Dan the Soundman Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I have two partitions on 1 SATA drive and had WinXP on the 1st. I installed OSX86 from the genericDVD on the second partition expecting to going to have to reinstall winXP back onto the first. I thought that the OSX install would overwrite the bootloader. It did. BUT it also left the option of booting back into WinXP. When it says press key to see boot options (where you enter -v and all that, it has two options 1) Windows NTFS and 2) OSX86 (or whatever youve called your installation). 2 is highlighted by default. I dont know if this will happen the same on different systems but hope it helps.

Well, i installed in my HD (ATA 120 GB) without DVD, i used tiger-x86.tar.bz2 image, this one runs without any VMWare so i recommend you that you get it, read this link click here! is a good tutorial. Partition Magic 8 is an excellent tool, i did use it to create several partitions on my HD without to erase any previous. Good luck !!.

jbaruch76 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 it's ntfs, i'm guessing it hast to be fat32, can i just convert it w/ partition magic or reinstall xp?

pc_guru Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 it's ntfs, i'm guessing it hast to be fat32, can i just convert it w/ partition magic or reinstall xp? No, NTFS is the right one. Well, sometimes this error happens when the partition of 6 GB (created with Diskpart) is created without reboot. So i recommend you, that due to you already created your partition, then now you must to reboot for to let that Win XP recognize it (you don't need to recreate it). Then better shut down your Win XP, put your 2nd HD as master and the other as slave and apply these instructions: C:\>diskpart ... DISKPART>select disk 0 Disk 0 is now the selected disk. DISKPART> list partition Partition ### Type Size Offset ------------- ---------------- ------- ------- Partition 1 Primary 9 GB 32 KB Partition 2 Unknown 6668 MB 9 GB DISKPART> exit Leaving DiskPart... C:\>cd {Put here the folder name where you stored your tiger image & dd files} C:\{your folder name}>dd if=tiger-x86-flat.img of=\\?\Device\HarddiskVolume2 bs=32256 skip=1 --progress Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4310-winxp-with-osx-in-samehd/#findComment-27753 Share on other sites More sharing options...
