OmniSmurfZ Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I have a similar setup as the one you spoke of in your guide, except instead of 3 partitions I have 3 HDDs. 1 for OSX, 1 for windows (xp atm moving to vista soon when i get to 4gigs of ram) and 1 for storage. I have OSX and windows already installed, but I don't see them on each others boot menus. I was booting to windows and so then i went into my BIOS and switched my HDD booting priority to the mac hdd and it worked! Then i wanted to go back to windows and switched it again in my bios and my windows wouldnt boot anymore . So my question is if I set it up like you did will it work fine? and if so, please send me your bootcd. cbrockett13@gmail.com Thanks in advance .

boinkytwo Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 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?Thankswhen it comes to osx86 and windows dual booting. it is best to put windows in the first partition of your hard drive, and osx in 2nd or 3rd partition or whatever you have in mind. just make it sure that it is not in the first part.i need the bootcd pls. my email is leu@galati.astral.ro or leud2k@yahoo.comi think you should now check your pm'shey champ, would you kindly send me the bootcd please? skychurch@doramail.comthanks!nice rig!!! well, i can't afford to produce a rig like yours. hmmm....check your pm.I have a similar setup as the one you spoke of in your guide, except instead of 3 partitions I have 3 HDDs. 1 for OSX, 1 for windows (xp atm moving to vista soon when i get to 4gigs of ram) and 1 for storage.

toolshed Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 SIMPLE SOLUTION! OK, I found these instructions work perfectly. But, I did run into the 'b0 error', and 'HFS+ partition error' I suspect many others made the same mistake as me. Please make sure when you create a partition in Disk Utility, it is MBR - you can select this from the +/plus switch (for options) when creating the partition. If you already created the partitions, carefully... select the disk, and select, Partition, and choose 1, 2, or however many partitions - BUT DO NOT APPLY. Then go to the +/plus check mark to confirm if MBR or GUID is selected - that is, most likely, the setting used when you created your OSX install partition. When you have discovered that, back out of the partition option, create your OSX install/HFS+ partition (if needed) and close Disk Utility. I used Kalyway 10.5.2, but what you need to do is select 'Customize' and make sure the boot loader option is set to MBR, presumably same as you set above. I found I had not, and this kicked up the b0 error, and later HFS+ partition error (when I had fumbled to try and fix the boot problem using Fdisk and set partition active - of course, it was already set active, and the MBR inconsistency was the problem!)

I dont know any kexts or maybe osx86 distro that can support RAID Hardware or software. all boot cd request, all done!Check yer pm's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaykishanKRK Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 dude, you may try it. i don't have any RAID Setups to make the test. It will surely work on hardware RAID, not sure with software RAID. all boot cd request, all done!Check yer pm's Hey man, having setup the RAID in Hardware BIOS would mean that i am using software RAID setup.. i haven't done much homework on that yet.. so let me confirm this straight.. does creating RAID 0 or Stripe partition through nvidia RAID utility in BIOS is not tested to limits and henceforth cannot be guaranteed of a positive outcome .. am I right??

toolshed Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 After a second attempt I got this working as per guide, using Kalyway 10.5.2 and XP Pro. Also installed Leopard Graphics update, NV inject 0.41. I found the Kalyway Combo update did not work, so I used the Netkas/Kalyway 10.5.2 update, and updated the vanilla kernel (I might have not followed correct procedure with the original attempt, but anyways, it works now) Thanks boinkytwo. I have a couple of issues/questions: 1) I made the partitions 50GB / 50GB / 800GB (approx., using Samsung 1TB disk) 1st partition is NTFS for XP Pro 2nd partition is HFS+ for Leopard 3rd partition is NTFS (using Paragon software to read/write from Leopard) I went to install FCP and tools, and found the 50GB HFS+ partition is too small. I'm familair with resizing partitions under Windows, but what do I need to do to increase the HFS+ partition size (say to 100GB) without causing boot problems? There is no data on the 800GB partition yet.

boinkytwo Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 for hfs+ repartition issue, read on this topic or you may opt to delete your osx part and the 800gb part and then repartition it again. with this process, you will be able to increase your osx partition. but you will have to reinstall osx. or you may stick with your current config and let fcp use the 800gb part as scratch disk or temp directory and storage room.

boinkytwo Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 @FORSTERGOOD JOB!ALL BOOTCD REQUEST... DONE! @Kear001. make sure you've installed realtek support kexts from the installer. kalyway has it, and also iatkos i think. also search for apple hda, hda enabler and/or ALCinject. Those are kexts that might solve your problem.use it with osx86 utility tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
