Zach Thomas Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Right now both Windows xp and osx are sharing a 80 gig hard drive on my laptop. The xp partition has around 70 gigs and the osx has around 10. I installed OSX after XP so right now I boot into OSX. My question is, what's the easiest way to be able to dual boot so I can choose either xp or OSX?

Technobob Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 At the Darwin boot screen hit F8 and it should show you your XP just select it then hit enter OR You may need to use the chain0 option do search for it Also have a look at these guides for dual boot http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...uides#Dual_Boot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7924-dual-booting-after-osx-install/#findComment-49622 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach Thomas Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 Got it, I had to extend the time the darwin boot loader showed up. It just blinked at first, now it stays on a full 8 seconds = ). Then I put chain0 in my windows directory after changing the active partition to the partition with windows on it with fdisk. Finally I edited my boot ini and there she be. Working like a champ.
