boinkytwo Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 If you want to dual boot from separate hdd, use xp boot loader. the chain0 technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdf1 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 G'day boinkytwo, Great tutorial which I hope to follow through when I get your bootcd. Would you please e-mail a copy to me at rfincher@alphalink.com.au - thanks. I realise this isn't the place to ask questions but could you clarify 2 points made in the tute. 1. Can I use Apple's retail Install DVD Version 10.5 instead of the OSX 10.4.8 CD you mention? 2. My 80 GB HDD has a 46GB C:\ partition containing Win XP Pro, an 8GB D:\ partition for WinXP back-up, and 20 GB of unformatted free space at the "end" of the drive. Can I use this free space to create the two partitions required for OSX using your bootcd? Experiments with PM8.0 to achieve this were not successful. Thanks Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rob It is for osx86/hackintosh, the osx installer used, was a patched osx install dvd. The patched dvd installer should be use on a pc based computer, not an apple based computer. You should use a patched version of osx. For the partition requirement, a 6gb partiltion is fine. The hard disk requirements for a successful osx installation are the following: 1. the target partition should be set to primary partition, not logical. You can do this with the help of the bootcd. 2. the target partition should be at least 6gb in size. ***you may format the partition using fat32 filesystem, but never use ntfs. ***you may leave it as raw partition. ========================================================= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolshed Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 boinkytwo, thanks for the guide, will try this method myself soon, just wondering about the 3rd partition... or not. what is a good third-party driver/s/w to access OSX partition from XP Pro? because I would like to share large video files (for editing) between XP/OSX, and I'm wondering if a FAT32 partition can do that (like 12GB)? I'm thinking to use an external SATA for video data - can OSX write to ntfs using 3PT s/w? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gst_nemisis Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Im booting mac using the boot.ini in my xp partition on my hard drive (disk0s1) using the C:\chain0="Mac OS X86" method and mac is installed in disk0s2. i was wondering if it was possible to change the information in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist so that when i select Mac OS X86 it boots it up instead of having the timer and you having to select disk0s2 from the little darwin boot menu that comes up. i know i can remove the time like this: <key>Timeout</key> <string>0</string> but the only method i saw for automatically boosting disk0s2 didnt work, which was this: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>rd=disk0s2</string> does anyone know a way to set it so it automatically boots os x when i select Mac OS x86 from the boot menu?

dabla Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Hi, I've already installed os x with efi on my hard drive on the first partition (I have 2 partitions, one for mac and one fat32). I would like to install xp on the second partition (and dual boot from darwin bootloader). Is this possible and which is the best way to proceed without destroying my existing leopard installation?
