Hi,

I have a question about the installation.

My T40's DVD rom cannot read disk now, so I am using an external USB DVD rom to intall OS X.

The disk I am using is the 'Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2]'

Here is the result I get when I type list partition in diskpart:

 

Partition ### Type Size Offset

------------- ---------------- ------- -------

Partition 1 Primary 13 GB 32 KB

Partition 2 Extended 72 GB 13 GB

Partition 3 Logical 21 GB 13 GB

Partition 4 Logical 51 GB 34 GB

Partition 5 Unknown 8188 MB 85 GB

 

I have gone through all steps of installation, and the computer is restarted.

But I could never get it boot into OS X, if I remove the installation disk. It will boot into Windows XP automatically.

 

In the Acronis OS selector, I could only see Win XP; and if I force the 5th partition to be the active, I will receive an MBR 3 error when it tries to boot up.

The only option I've got now is to use the USB DVD Rom to boot, but that will again get me into the painful long intallation process.

Could any body give me a hint what I need to do?

 

The computer I am using is a low end T40 with 1.300 GHz Pentium M CPU.
