antrunix Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Dual booting OSX/WinXP previously working by adding chain0 from DVD to C: and one line within boot.ini textfile (C:\chain0="mac osx") DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE with 10.4.3 install (8f1099)!? A new trick for that? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4909-1043-dual-booting/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 it works for me, but i need to and press F8 immediately after selecting OSX86 in the OS list, and then choose the partition manually Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4909-1043-dual-booting/#findComment-31265 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekno Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Working fine here. Second system with XP and OSX using chain0. XP on 1 HD and OSX on another.

firebush05 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Try this. Use two hardrives. Make both master (using the jumpers on the back of the drives). Hook them up, each with its own bus/port/cable (can't think of the terminology). Boot. On my machine, I'll just let it boot on its own, and it automatically boots my OSX drive. If I want windows, I press the ESC key just after turning the machine on. Thats brings up a boot menu where I can choose the drive with XP. I didn't mess with any files or settings.. it just worked right off the bat.

stryder Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Many thanks ! Just after booting press several times F8 to get partition choice. I have dual booting fine using the chain0 method. I have 2 hard drives, Windows on the SATA, OS X on the ATA. I'm using the built-in bootloader from Windows.

Andrew J. Shephard Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 can somebody point me in the direction of the chain0 dual boot tutorial, sounds quite interesting. Hopefully it will work with an external USB too. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4909-1043-dual-booting/#findComment-31961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
