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?
