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 floppy and Acronis disk director 10

 

1. Install Vista as normally you do

2. Install Acronis disk director 10

3. Partition your drive with Disk management in windows

4. Do not set file system just leave the partition as it is Unallocated

 

5. Go to START button and select RUN

6. In run window type: “diskpart” and enter

7. Type “select disk 0” enter

8. Type “list partition” enter

9. 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 it

 

 

10. Type “Exit” enter

11. Restart your window with Kalyway in the DVD drive and the USB named 123

12. At the boot press F8

13. At the prom type “-vanila”

14. Wait for the apple logo and the menu of OS X to come up it takes time so be patient

15. After the installer loads up choose utilities>disk utilities

16. On the left hand side pan Choose the partition that you created in windows (in my case it was “disk0s2”

17. Choose erase and erase it

18. Out of Disk utilities and choose TERMINAL in the Utilities

19. Type:

 

cd /Volumes/123/pc_efi_v80

 

./startupfiletool /dev/rdiskXsY ./boot_v8

 

dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY bs=512 count=1

 

20. Exit back to the installer

21. Choose your drive (partition) and continue( do not forget to choose your drivers)

22. Let Leo install. In my case when installation was completed, did not come up with screen saying “INSTALATION SUCCESFULL” it just restarted

23. 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

24. Go ahead and thru the screens and you will be seeing you OS X installed

25. Check if every thing works mouse, sound. Internet … in my case everything worked. Play around with it.

26. Now restart the computer with the DOS Bootable CD/Floppy in the drive

27. The computer will boot in “DOS”mode

28. At the prom type “fdisk” enter

29. The next two screens just pres enter

30. When in the FDISK menu choose “Set active partitions”

31. Choose the partition that Vista is installed on and pres enter, it should say “Partition set as active” or something like that.

32. Press ESC key two times remove you CD/floppy from the drive and insert vista installation disk, restart the computer

33. Press any key to boot from the DVD and after Vista load choose repair computer option

34. Let Vista repair it’s self and it should ask you to reboot…do that

35. Let Vista start up

36. Go to Start>run

37. Type “diskpart” enter

38. Type “select disk 0” enter

39. Type “select partition x” (where “X” is the partition number of where Leo was installed. In my case was 2)

40. Type “active” It should say that it is done so.

41. Type “exit”

42. Go to Start>Acronis>Acronis disk director, and choose “Install Acronis OS Selector”

43. Go ahead install it and if everything went good it should install fine without errors

44. Restart the computer without any cd/dvd/floppys in the drive

45. 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)

46. Enjoy

 

The 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

wayyyy 2 complicated lol, i just installed vista on a second partition then set the osx partition active with acronis disk director. I think i might have repaired the mbr for my osx partition, i cant quite remember, but now i have duel boot using the os x boot loader.

It may seems complicated because I was going in to the details and trying to make it easy for noobs.In reality it is very easy. If you fallow my guide to the point it will dual boot.

I may post another guide that I’m working on or may be a just download patch file that will set everything with one single click in windows.

2. Install Acronis disk director 10

3. Partition your drive with Disk management in windows

4. Do not set file system just leave the partition as it is Unallocated

 

5. Go to START button and select RUN

6. In run window type: “diskpart” and enter

7. Type “select disk 0” enter

8. Type “list partition” enter

9. 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 it

10. Type “Exit” enter

 

the partition af type can also setup by Acronis disk director 10 just modify the partition type, that have "af" to choose

Greetings,

 

I'm pretty new to the osx86 stuff, but after about a week of tinkering I successfully completed the dual boot on a single drive. If anything, you just need to try a lot of different techniques to find what works on your system.

 

Sequence:

 

- Installed Vista64 Ultimate on partition 1

- Copied chain0 file from the Kalyway 10.5.1 disc to C:\

- Grabbed ntldr, created boot.ini file according to chain0

- Created new partition using diskpart in Vista

 

- Rebooted w/ the Kalyway disc and installed using only EFI MBR bootloader custom option (this was the only way i could successfully dual boot)

- Selected Vista Ultimate from the bootloader screen, got the repair error message.

- Repaired Vista w/ the Vista install DVD

- Rebooted again, select Vista which loaded fine

- Reboot yet again, select OS, then once the darwin loader loads quickly hit another key and you can select to boot to partition 1 or 2 (select 2)

- OSX loads fine and the dual boot is complete

 

I think the issue for a lot of ppl is not using the MBR options for install and not hitting the key quickly when the darwin bootloader loads (2nd to last step). I've also installed the 10.5.2 nvidia drivers so my 8600gt is $$$$.

 

My system:

Asus P5B (onboard network working, haven't messed w/ audio yet)

1.86 Core2Duo

4gb DDR800

JMICRON IDE - NEC DVDR (working)

SATA - Seagate 250gb drive (working)

i have couple of questions where will i get these two items pc_efi_v80 and dos bootable cd of floppy from, i have just downloaded the kalyway10.5.1 disk with two folder in it. please help

Hi,

I have the same problem as quite a few people have. No answer has been put up that has worked. Basically, I'm booting up from the kalyway 10.5 disc and all goes well, i see the initial apple boot screen (i.e. the apple with the timer beneath it) but as that finishes loading i get a kernel panic (i.e. a request for me to reboot my comuter)

 

I dont like posting in forums where the problem may have already been solved as i like to do a lot of searching before hand, but for this problem i could not find anything, so as a last resort here i am

 

also, i am a bit weak when it comes to coding so expect some probably obscure questions.

 

thanks in advance

 

 

p.s. im running a xps 710

q6600

2 gig ram

2x 320 hard drive (partitioned for leopard) S-ATA

Vista ultimate

 

if you need more just ask

 

:wacko:

These are the steps I went through to get dual boot on a same HDD.

1. Boot from Kalyway DVD

2. Run Disk Utility

3. Partition your HDD (on a 320gb drive -> 120gb (disk02), 200gb(disk03) for vista)

4. I chose GUID partition scheme. You dont have to format both now.

5. Quite the OSX installer and put your vista install disc (x64) into the drive and reboot.

6. Once vista installation starts, choose the second partition u made for vista (200gb).

7. Format and install to that partition

8. Once vista installation has completed, put your Kalyway DVD in the boot.

9. Proceed to install your Kalyway OSX with efi.

10. OSX has installed and reboot, you should be able to choose between booting OSX (default) or vista (Foreign OS)

 

Hope the above is clear enough.

 

I tried installing kalyway first, but had issue with installing vista. It wont install because it sees it as a "GPT" (GUID Partition) for some reason.

 

My setup:

GA-P35 DS3P rev 2.0

Q6600 @ 2.4ghz

2x2gb DDR2-800

1x320gb SATA

Pioneer SATA 212D DVDRW

Galaxy 8800GTS 512mb

Antech Sonata III

Firstly, I couldn't get the installer to load unless i put "cpus=1" for the options.

After it loaded, I installed using the efi_mbr option (the guid gave me b0 error) and the installation finished and when booting (again having to put cpus=1 otherwise it keeps rebooting) it freezes when it gets to "AppleRTL8169Ethernet: phyWaitForAutoNegotiation TIMEOUT" while booting.  

Anyone know any way around this, or how to disable the "AppleRTL8169Ethernet"?

 

Update:

Nevermind, I got it to work by not choosing the video drivers (since they're for Nvidia 7000 series and I have a 8600M GT).

Still have to put cpus=1 though...

hey...

i am in a fix here...

all the kalyway leopard installation guides say that after F8, type either "vanila" or "-v" or "-x" or "mach_kernel cpus=1"....and then wait for the installer to start...

 

my problem is that after trying out all the parameters listed above...

the installer doesnt start...

and the pc reboots...after 3 minutes...

 

i have a really old pc...but with loads of ram...

motherboard -- intel 865G

processor -- intel 1.6Ghz

ram -- 4 GB

hdd -- 160 GB IDE

optical -- liteon dvd writer...

 

.

..

am i missing something??...

please help me...i really want to get leopard installed on my pc...
