tange1 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Hello, I'm considering trying to install osx on my desktop. I have a SATA Raptor, and several ATA drives. I understand SATA support is weak. What I was considering was installing OSx on a new partition on one of the ATA drives. Then dual boot. Should this be possible? i have a intel i865P/PE/G/i848P according to CPUz I know my desktop only supports SSE2 so it'll proballly be slow. thanks for your thoughts.

tange1 Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 OK its a dell 4600, 768 MB of PC 2100 RAM. P4 2.4 ghz (SSE2 no SSE3). Chipset included above. I'm running a SATA Raptor 36.6 GB as my boot device. I am then running 2 more internal ATA (I mean ATA not SATA) drives. I also have a external USB hd. Chipset is included above. What I want to know is can I take one of my internal ATA drives and put a partition on it and install on it? Then mess w/ a boot loader to get it to dual boot? What i'm concerned about is the other ATA drives will be bootable? Need more than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
