Nsomnia Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I've aqquired the "JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3" image. Burned it, created a partition of 40gb to use and now where do I go? Ive already got windows and ubuntu installed and im using grub for my bootloader. From as much reading I've done, I guess ive got to choose my new parition as the "active" one and then reboot and the installer should pick it up and install from there. Does my partition need to be formatted to any filesystem? (Right now its raw) Thanks for any help.

Guest Ramm Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Just start the install from the DVD. The Partitioning can be done from the Tools menu then Disk Utility Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43962-install-triple-boot-questions/#findComment-314392 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nsomnia Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 Alright it installed fine. I restart computer and it brings up darwin with the choices of "hd0,1 windows ntfs hd0,2 osx86" When I choose osx86 it gives me some sorta black screen/white text that scrolls for a minute then stops. When I choose windows ntfs, it just prints a slash and then sits there. Grub has vanished, how would I fix it, boot into ubuntu live cd and reinstall grub?

jleal Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Nsomnia, i'm in the process of setting up a system similar to yours. Did you manage to get it working?

BebopBlues Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I suggest to use acronis OS selector as your boot loader. I have XP, Vista, Ubuntu, and OSX installed on one PC, and able to boot to them all. Anytime the bootloader gets taken over by any OS installations whether its Vista or OSX, all I have to do is boot the acronis CD and restore the acronis OS selector. And on the plus side, its a nice looking GUI for a bootloader.
