Shingles Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I am looking for the easiest guide to dualbooting Leopard and Vista on an Intel PC. I am downloading the Kalyway image right now, but I don't want to have to deal with the boot cd or flash drive or editing bios. I like EasyBCD and would like to use that, any help or guides for me to look at? I dont want to have to take different pieces from like 5 guides. I am sure I'm not the only one looking for this. Thanks for any help! My laptop specs are: HP Pavillion dv2000 Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit 160 GB Hard Drive 2 GB RAM Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 @ 2.20 GHz NVIDIA 8400 GS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweak41 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I used this guide: http://coolblog.profit42.com/2007/07/03/up...ual-boot-guide/ It worked brilliantly. Just make sure to choose the MBR boot option instead of GUID if you use the Kalyway DVD to install. You'll know what I'm talking about when you get there.

tweak41 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 The guide works for Leopard, that's what I'm running right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shingles Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 When it says restore disk, on this HP, I can make recovery disks. Is that the same thing? I also have a Vista Ultimate install disk for my other computer (this laptop came with Ultimate already so I used that disk for my desktop). Which disks should I use? Thanks.

tweak41 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 You follow these: 3. Create at least 6GB of unallocated space: - Press the windows logo in the bottom left corner of you screen (assuming that you’re using Windows Vista) - Right click ‘computer’ and select ‘manage’ - Select ‘Disk Management’ in the ‘Computer Management’ screen. - Select a partition with at least 6GB of free space - Right click it and hit ’shrink volume”, type in the amount of space to shrink (at least 6GB) and hit ‘Shrink’. - Close all open windows. 4. Hit WINDOWS BUTTON + R and type ‘diskpart’ (without quotes) 5. Type in (press enter after you typed in a line): list disk select disk [the number of your disk] create partition primary id=af list partition select partition [the number of your new osx partition] active (if this doesn’t work, try ’set active’ without quotes) 6. Insert the OSX install disk and reboot your computer, follow the installation steps on your screen. Read everything carefully and select the right packages! 7. After finishing the installation, OSX should boot up. Play with it for a few moments and then proceed to the next step. 8. Insert your Vista install disk and press reboot. Boot up Vista’s install disk. 9. After booting the install disk, click repair system and press next. Open the command window and type ‘diskpart’. Then type: list disk select disk [the number of your disk] list partition select partition [the number of your windows partition] active (if this doesn’t work, try ’set active’ without quotes) 10. Reboot into Windows Vista. 11. Copy chain0 to the root of the Vista partition (mostly C:/) 12. Press WIN+R and type ‘cmd’. And type: bcdedit /copy {current} /d “Mac OS X” (just leave the {current} there and don’t change it) bcdedit /enum active bcdedit /set [iD] PATH \chain0 (replace [iD] with you identifier: http://janschneiders.googlepages.com/idosx.gif) 13. Now you can reboot your computer and you’ll see a nice dual boot menu! You can get chain0 here: http://riccardo.raneri.it/blog/eng/wp-cont...6/08/chain0.rar I really don't think you can mess that up...good luck.

Shingles Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 last question, on step 12, when it says "bcdedit /set [iD] PATH \chain0 (replace [iD] with you identifier: http://janschneiders.googlepages.com/idosx.gif)" what does that whole part with replace [iD] with you identifier mean? that site mentioned doesnt work (janschneiders.googlepages.com/idosx.gif)thanks for the help! EDIT: nevermind! i didnt realize it took the parenthesis too, my bad! thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
