alvarito Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hello guys, I've been using OSX for about five months, as the only OS of my desktop computer. But I wanted to use Windows too, so I thought that it will be nice to install both systems on my hardware. Right now I'm using an Intel D945GCCR motherboard, with CPU C2D E4300, which works flawslessly on Jas 10.4.9 as the only OS. The hard drive is a WD 160GB SATA, and the DVDRW is an LG, connected on the the primary IDE. The steps I followed are these: Format HD Install Windows XP on an NTFS partition, about 10GB After XP installed, created a primary partition with 20GB Then install JaS DVD on the second partition Installation is perfect After reboot, I get the menu pressing F8. If I choose XP, it boots ok, but if i choose OSX, I get the "still waiting for boot device". I just wanted to know how to solve that problem, any help will greatly appreciated! PS: I read the forums, used the search function too, but I didn't help a lot PS2: I wanted to upgrade to the Kalyway Leopard, that's why I posted this topic on this section Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81455-xp-and-osx-dual-boot-problems/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurumi Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Did you install grub or any other boot loader and use the chain0 string? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81455-xp-and-osx-dual-boot-problems/#findComment-578817 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtreanor Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I know ur using a completely different board but I have a P5B and fixed that problem by switching SATA from enhanced to compatible it was under IDE config in the BIOS(i think) hope this helps Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81455-xp-and-osx-dual-boot-problems/#findComment-579740 Share on other sites More sharing options...
