Dragon Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 i'm multibooting vista, xp and osx with grub, the vista bootloader is really invasive and i couldn't be bothered with it so i made a grub floppy and use that to boot. the only problem is i have to keep the floppy in or it will boot to vista if you want you can download grub4dos or wingrub which can be installed from windows so you don't have to use a floppy. i haven't used it so i don't know how it's supposed to work or where the files are kept. ps : i'd post you the link for the grub floppy image but it's too late.. i can barely keep eyes open i'll post in morning...

Sudar Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/gnu/grub/grub-0.95-i386-pc.ext2fs use rawwrite for windows to write it to the floppy disk. Well, at their FTP there is also GRUB 2 in sources. This version is compatible with different partition tables that is it can load OSx86 10.4.4 (GPT partitioned HD) and WinXP (MBR partitioned HD). If smb with strong compiling skills is able to build both diskette and "native" (on boot drive) installers of GRUB 2 that IMHO would likely solve in general the problem with OSx86 and WinXP dual-boot on new Intel Macs. The next step would be to hack one of those OSes in order to make them recognize an alien partitioning on the same HD... P.S. ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub , http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnX86 Edited January 27, 2006 by Sudar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Dragon, HELP Please!!!! Would you please give me a short detail on the order in which you installed all these os's, e.g. which os did you install first, second, etc. I am not having any luck with either when dual booting. Here's what I attempted to do: 1st attemp: 1. Installed 10.4.3 on part1, success no problems encountered 2. Tried to installed Vista 5270 on part 2, got "Windows setup is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation. I used the custom installation method. I've even tried the advanced option to delete, create, format the part 2 but same error. Thanks, MacMeUp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest xeniczone Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Could always be easier to use multible hard drives to get rid of the wrong format thing. One for Windows One for Mac OS X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
