obajoba Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Okay, After a few minor hiccups I was able to get the flat image running on my machine for a second time. For reasons unbeknownst to me, I made a (insert expletive) mistake and blew up my XP drive. All the while not realizing that my initial issue (LAN) on my board was just not waking because of stupid Windoze (Unix admin here, i hate MS). Anyhoo, the real question (see below for hardware specs) is how do I dual boot if my OS X install appears to need AHCI enabled on my board and XP (32bit) does not support it? I REALLY dislike having to go in and enable AHCI in the bios every time i want to boot OSX. Any thoughts? I have yet to try EFI, and I have not updated the flat image in any way aside from installing the kexts for my audio, everything else appears to be working 100%.

obajoba Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 Okay, I made SOME headway here. I disabled AHCI and switched my SATA to Legacy mode... BUT, now things are significantly slower. Though, I must say, if all works well I will be buying a MacBook Pro as this is all in an attempt to get to know Mac... So, I am completely tired of searching forums, the interweb thingy and all for the last 3 days. Any thoughts? This was working previously without any changes to the BIOS... Hmmmmm. Happily posting from my Hac (errr, OSx86 box). -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
