orange.x Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Here's my thing. I finially got this weekend OSx running @ my laptop. I used the deadmoo's image, and extracted it to my harddisk and i ran perfect. So now I wanted to make a dual boot with my Windows thingy and OSx offcourse. I followed the following tut ( http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...le_And_Accurate ) and everything was great. I used the way of booting via the Chain0, cause it was the most simple way to do it, I guessed :censored2: I found the file ( Chain0 ) on my earlier burned Marklar Image disk and copied it to my C root. Edited the boot.ini and reboot!!! First I wanted to let Windows just works as it does, and that is! But when I boot my osx os... it goes... my hdd led burns for a while, and later it just doenst do anything, after i press enter, my screen is still black and a blank cursos blinks... That's like all... I didn't wait a half an hour... Maybe i just need to do that, but did i do something wrong? Or is there another simple solution to boot my osx..?

maq Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 What is your system? Also, how far does the boot get - what do you see on your screen after you select to boot osx, anything?

orange.x Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 What is your system? Also, how far does the boot get - what do you see on your screen after you select to boot osx, anything? I just see a cursor blink. I got help from a friend. Downloaded the darwin image, and using that chain0 now. Changed boot.ini to C:\chain0 ... "Quick Boot"="Yes".. I already deleted my osx partition, starting over right now, made the partition and copying now. Another question, why do i have to skip the first 63 blocks? that doesn't make any sense... In this install i didn't do it, maybe it helps Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8634-cant-boot-osx-besides-winxp/#findComment-53976 Share on other sites More sharing options...
