JAMMAC Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Dual booting Vista and Kalyway Leo 10.5.1 on single hard drive with two partitions Things you will need: DVD VISTA installation disk, Kalyway_Leo_10.5.1, USB drive formatted fat32 and named 123 with extracted > pc_efi_v80 and dos bootable cd of floppy1. Install Vista as normally you do2. Partition your drive with Disk management in windows3. Do not set file system just leave the partition as it is Unallocated4. Go to START button and select RUN 5. In run window type: "diskpart" and enter6. Type "select disk 0" enter7. Type "list partition" enter8. You should see the two partitions as number 2 partition is listed as "Unallocated"If you do not see the unallocated partition do this:a. Type "create partition primary id=af."b. Type "list partition" enter now you should see it9. Type "Exit" enter10. Restart your window with Kalyway in the DVD drive and the USB named 123 11. At the boot press F8 12. At the prom type "-vanila" 13. Wait for the apple logo and the menu of OS X to come up it takes time so be patient14. After the installer loads up choose utilities>disk utilities15. On the left hand side pan Choose the partition that you created in windows (in my case it was "disk0s2"16. Choose erase and erase it17. Out of Disk utilities and choose TERMINAL in the Utilities18. Type:cd /Volumes/123/pc_efi_v80./startupfiletool /dev/rdiskXsY ./boot_v8dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY bs=512 count=119. Exit back to the installer20. Choose your drive (partition) and continue( do not forget to choose your drivers)21. Let Leo install. In my case when installation was completed, did not come up with screen saying "INSTALATION SUCCESFULL" it just restarted22. Take the DVD out or just leave it in but do noting you should see Darwin boot loader counting down and the Apple logo, the splash screen with the music and so on 23. Go ahead and thru the screens and you will be seeing you OS X installed24. Check if every thing works mouse, sound. Internet … in my case everything worked. Play around with it.25. Now restart the computer with the DOS Bootable CD/Floppy in the drive26. The computer will boot in "DOS"mode27. At the prom type "fdisk" enter28. The next two screens just pres enter29. When in the FDISK menu choose "Set active partitions"30. Choose the partition that Vista is installed on and pres enter, it should say "Partition set as active" or something like that.31. Press ESC key two times remove you CD/floppy from the drive and insert vista installation disk, restart the computer 32. Press any key to boot from the DVD and after Vista load choose repair computer option 33. Let Vista repair it's self and it should ask you to reboot…do that34. Let Vista start up35. Go to Start>run36. Type "diskpart" enter37. Type "select disk 0" enter38. Type "select partition x" (where "X" is the partition number of where Leo was installed. In my case was 2)39. Type "active" It should say that it is done so.40. Type "exit"41. Go to Start>Acronis>Acronis disk director, and choose "Install Acronis OS Selector"42. Go ahead install it and if everything went good it should install fine without errors43. Restart the computer without any cd/dvd/floppys in the drive44. Let the Acronis boot loader take over and in a few seconds you should see the interface of Acronis displaying the two bootable "Vista" and "Unknown OS " (you can rename the "unknown OS" to whatever you want)45. EnjoyThe guide may not work for everyone but I do not see why not, those are simple commands to make the partitions active and bootable and Acronis takes over.The installation was done on Gateway Mod # GT5408 with single SATA HD, and upgraded video card Nvidia GeForce 7300GS I forgot to tell you that you need to install Acronis disk director 10 in Vista Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roidm Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 You don´t need acronis...boot into leo install disk and make 2 partitions, the first one for Vista (fat32) and the second for leo, select the Guid partition scheme and reboot over the Vista install disk and install it over the fat32 partition, it is obvious that you will have to turn this partition to ntfs. When Vista finishes boot over Leo install disc and install it over the second partition, then when leo finishes reboot over leo install disk and open a terminal, plug your pendrive and install the efi pack...that´s all. Darwin will show you something like this: 1. hd(01,) 2. hd(0,2) foreign boot (Vista) 3. hd(0,3) Leopard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
