jaffe Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 You need to give more information. What installation method you are thinking? What kind of machine you have? I used this installation guide with iATKOS dvd image. No EFI and yes to vanilla kernel. http://coolblog.profit42.com/2007/06/23/os...-intel-and-amd/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EGOvoruhk Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I'm dual booting with EFI just fine. I've got Vista and iATKOS. I'll be adding XP and Ubuntu, and it doesn't look like I'll run into any problems there either What kind of snags are you running into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sshanepowelll Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 wow GREAT! is this the method you used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGOvoruhk Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Yeah, I literally just used it about half an hour ago on a notebook install Make sure you put in the right partition My Vista install was before my Leopard, so I had to change the number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshanepowelll Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 so install osx first on partition 1, than install vista on the 2nd partition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGOvoruhk Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 How do you have it installed now? When you get to the "flag" command, put in the partition number Leopard is on 1 for the first partition, 2 for the second, so on and so forth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
