kuzco89 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Here are my system specs. Toshiba A215-S4807 AMD Turion 64 x2 Mobile TL-56 (1.8 Ghz) Toshiba ATI RS690/RS690M Motherboard Dual Channel DDR2 2048 Ram 160 Gigabyte Hard drive Running Windows Vista Home Premium Hey guys, I have already tried to dual boot three times using this guide. http://inihilist.wordpress.com/2008/01/07/...and-fool-proof/ I follow this guide to the letter. But to no avail, I have done three system resets today trying to figure this out. I create the partition and reboot the computer with that partition active. Now I start my computer and I get my normal Toshiba startup screen. Then it blanks out and I get a double "ll" looking sign in my top left corner and it does nothing. I then tried to reboot the computer and booted from the iATKOS v1.0 iso dvd and it brings up the Darwin boot loader and I press f8. Then the boot loader comes up asking what to do, I press -v. This brings up more lines of file, and eventually a new screen comes in and more lines of file loading (this is a brighter white font, describing mac kernels and the MAC system framework. It stops 3/4 the way down the screen, the last line ended like this "reproduced osx3". I'm nots sure exactly what it said but it sat for over and hour before I turned it off and tried again. I did the above three times over, each getting a line of code or a black screen with the double "ll" looking symbol. I also tried boot loading without typing -v in darwin and I got a grey screen with the apple logo in the middle, it sat for an hour before I turned it off and tried again. I have looked on here and found nothing with these symptoms, I didnt want to do this again and get the same outcome. Should I try to load leopard a different way? I have vista up and running just trying to figure out what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

kuzco89 Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 Thanks, this looks promising. Just a couple of quick questions. DoI need to have leopard already installed? Do I need to partition my drive? Or does this just program do everything. At the moment I only have vista running and no extra partitions.

Or does this just program do everything.At the moment I only have vista running and no extra partitions. This is an easy way: - Buy a new hdd - Install Tiger/Leo on it - At first booting after install, using F8 on your keyboard to select the new one- Voila...
