madhamster Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I have windows XP installed on 1 harddisk and Leopard on the other. How do I dual boot them, from what I had seen the Darwin bootloader only support different OS from different partition on the same harddisk.

Lozzo Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I've just done this on my one, albeit I'm using MBR for my OSX Install (Kalyway 10.5.1, MBR/EFI/Vanilla) Anyhoo, my XP Drive is Primary Master IDE, OSX is Primary Slave IDE, with BIOS set to boot my XP drive. I simply used the chain0 method, as outlined here in the wiki. http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Chain0 Appears to work a treat.

SATA disk 0 is XP SATA disk 1 is Leopard I added the chain0 and it works great. I even have XP running in Parallels.

madhamster Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 ok this ONLY WORKED WITH MBR NOT GUID.
