bestman50 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I had OS X 10.5.4 0n my 1st partition, used CCC to copy to my 2nd partition. OS X booted fine. Installed XP on 1st partition set up CHAIN0 and TBOOT on win C drive edited the boot.ini. Used the terminal to activate 2nd partition, but it will not boot to either operating system with CHAIN0 or TBoot. I get Error or no system found, If I change it back to 1st partition it will boot to XP. I would like to try your boot cd. May I have a copy. thx bestman50 bestman_48@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajeshmagic Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Simple Dual Boot Guide: Windows XP + OSX86 (Hackintosh) ***Please post your feedback here, after following the guide. ***Make sure that you already tested osx86 to run with your specs, or that your specs are osx86 compatible. This is the best ever dual boot technique that I've tried and used. It is so simple to setup and plus no Dual Boot Software required. You may choose the following: A. Using Darwin Boot Loader B. Using Windows XP Boot Loader ***Users who have windows xp already installed on 2nd partition of their hard drive, use my created bootcd to move the windows xp partition to the first part of the hard drive making it the first partition. After that, update the MBR. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Things to be on hand before executing the following procedures: 1. OS install CDs - WinXP - OSX 10.4.8 - Clean and Unpartitioned Hard Drive, no data/files in it. 2. My BootCD (3.5mb) - post your request here, download link will be sent to you - download and burn it. 3. Chain0 File - necessary when using windows xp boot loader 4. OSX Boot File (com.appleboot.plist) - necessary when using darwin boot loader ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Procedures: A. Using Darwin's Boot Loader 1: Boot windows xp install cd and create a partition and allocate at least 5gb (5,000 mb) or depending on your preference and resources. If there's any existing partition, delete them all until you only see one unpartitioned hard drive, before doing this step. 2: Create the first partition for windows xp installation as mentioned above, and leave the other partition untouched, or leave it unpartitioned. ***The first partition is for windows xp The second partition is for osx The third partition is for all your files to be stored in 3: Proceed with windows xp installation procedures, make sure that It will boot properly after installation. Boot the newly installed Windows XP, and input a volume name for your windows xp partition. 4: After Installation, boot from my created bootcd. a. press enter when " boot: " appears. b. press enter when MY TOOLS appears. c. press enter when PARTITION MAGIC appears. you were looking now at Partition Magic's User Interface. 5: Now, right click the 2nd partition, then click Resize/Move Click on New Size and input at least 6,000mb or more. Click OK Two new partition appears, making your single drive divided in 3 partitions. Now, right-click the 2nd parition and click Create, in Create As dialog choose Primary Partition click Partition Type and choose Unformatted click OK Now, right-click the 3rd partition and click Create, in Create As dialog choose Logical Partition click Partition Type and choose Fat32 ***with this format both your OS will have read/write access click OK Finally, click Apply. ***During this process your computer may seem to hung, but its not. Wait for confirmation, reboot and eject the bootcd. 6: Insert OSX86 install DVD and install OSX When reaching the Select Destination menu, open Disk Utility and format the 2nd partition in MAC OS Extended (Journaled) format, Input your desired Volume Name (ex. My MAC). Then proceed with the installation until finished. 7: After successful installation, restart your system and eject the install dvd, darwin will boot osx and will take you to account creation, etc. 8: Now, upon reaching the desktop, go to your osx installation Open Library, then Open Preferences, then Open SystemConfiguration and then Paste this file: com.apple.Boot.plist, authorize it with your account password and replace it when prompted. 9: Open Termninal from the Application-->Utilities Folder. Then, Type: sudo -s Press: enter Type in your password and hit enter. (***your typed password will not be shown as ********) You will be prompted with this: account name:~ root# ex. boinkytwos computer:~ root# 10: copy and paste this in your terminal window right after root# chown -R root:wheel /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist chmod -R 755 /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist close the terminal window 11. Now, restart 12. Upon reboot, you'll see Darwin's boot loader counting down from 5. Hit enter, use arrow keys which os to boot from and hit enter. ***The 1st choice is windows xp, and the 2nd choice is OSX. 13. You're done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B. Using Windows XP's Boot Loader 1.> Follow steps 1 to 7 above. 2.> Insert my created bootcd and boot from it. 3:> Upon reaching Partition Magic's user interface Right-click the windows xp partition. Click Advance, then click Set Active, then click OK, then Apply, then Yes, and finally OK. Wait for the confirmation, and then restart 4.> Upon restart, you should be able to boot Windows XP. Boot from it until you'll reached the desktop. 5.> Put chain0 in C: drive 6:> Now right-click My Computer, then Advance, under Startup and Recovery, click Settings under Default Operating System, click on EDIT at the end insert: c:\chain0="MAC OS X Tiger" it should look like this: [boot loader] timeout=5 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)0000 [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)0000="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect c:\chain0="MAC OS X Tiger" ------------------------- ***do not alter the blue text, just add the red text. the one above is just an example of the contents of my boot.ini file. ***you may change MAC OS X TIGER to other names you like. ie. OSX 7.> Click Ok and close all dialogues, reboot to test. Good Luck!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***This whole procedures had worked for my machine. ***PLEASE POST YOUR RESULTS HERE IF YOU'RE SUCCESSFUL ***ERROR LOADING OPERATING SYSTEM, when booting osx solution: use the bootcd to make windows parition active, and then reboot, then boot again from the boot cd. use again the bootcd to change back osx parition into active. reboot again, osx should boot now. rajeshmagic sir my name is rajesh my motherboard name is pi865d7 kobian but chipset is intel and processor is intel for me leoforall is installing perfectly but while booting it is not coming so please tell me the correct chipset onetime i suddenly it boot into mac and i worked for 2 hours when i shutdown mac bootloader gone or tell me the site if anyother mac which will sit in my motherboard pi865d7 also please tell me the installation steps sir please if possible send the reply to my email id doubts2apec@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janet Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hi, I was just wondering if this procedure works with a retail dvd as well. I have installed from the Leopard dvd only. With a few slight changes I believe it may work with a retail dvd as well. Just curious if anyone else has tried. Thanks. -Janet boinkytwo and everyone else on the osx86 scene---you rock!

daman9 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I am stuck at: ERROR LOADING OPERATING SYSTEM, Can someone please send me a link for My bootCD. The funny thing is that I had OSX working fine and I just wanted to get XP on my computer to test out the speed of the system, but even after installing XP (I wiped OSX and partitioned to NTSF), I get this loading error. Please send me bootCD if it will fix this issue. Or if anyone can help me get XP loaded, let me know what the solution might be if there is one.
