My Installation Dual Boot XP / KALYWAY 10.5.1 / Good for problem solving

[marvguitar]

I installed this system over the weekend and documented everything. I went through it and it was not easy but i now have a very clean install of both OSs and i'm happy! This forum helped me a lot and i thought i would share my findings even though it it pretty system specific.

 

Everything works flawlessly, Video, Audio, Lan, Keyboard & mouse, i even plugged my iPhone, external USB drives, Sata internal you name it.

 

I thought it could help some people so here we go.

 

 

My System

 

ASUS P5P800

Pentium 4 3.2Ghz / 2 Gig RAM

BFG 6800 Ultra OC

 

 

 

1) HARDWARE SETUP

 

Install the DVD drive as MASTER and HDD as SLAVE on same ribbon. *Make sure to use the right jumper settings / no CS (Cable Select)

 

NOTE: Once everything is setup you can install the HDD as MASTER and CDROM as Slave to remove the error message(No master HD etc.)

 

 

2) BIOS

 

- Start by loading the DEFAULT SETTINGS (F2)

- Go to the POWER settings and enable both ACPI 2.0 and ACPI APIC Support

- Go to BOOT MENU and in the BOOT DEVICE PRIORITY, select the CDROM as the first one and HDD as second

- Save and Exit

 

3) KALYWAY 10.5.1 INSTALLATION

 

- Insert Kalyway CD and boot the Installer(it takes a while so relax)

- Once the installer is booted, select the language and click the arrow.

- Start disk Util and make 2 MBR (master boot record) partitions. 1 Extended Journaled (OSX) and 1 FAT (Windows) Apply and close DISK UTIL.

- Select the partition on which you want to install OSX and click NEXT

- Select CUSTOMIZE and select the "NVINJECT Gfnvidia Desktop" driver and change the bootlader from GUID to MBR.

- Continue with Installation, you can skip the DVD verification. Sit back and relax it will reboot automatically when installation is completed.

 

4) FIRST LEOPARD BOOT / LAN INSTALLATION

 

- Start by restoring the default look of Leopard by installing "Restore_Factory_Desktop_settings.pkg"

- The audio is installed by default but remember that you have to connect the speakers / headphones into the LINEOUT jack (blue)

- To install the LAN, copy "skge.kext" from the "Network" folder to the desktop and open TERMINAL

 

Type:

 

sudo -s (password)

cp -R (drag and drop the file and remove the / at the end) /System/Library/Extensions/

rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

reboot

 

*After rebooting goto SYSTEM PREFERENCE/NETWORK and delete every connection except the "ETHERNET" one and the network will be activated.

 

 

5) INSTALLING WINDOWS

 

- Insert the XP install CD and reboot

- Install XP on the FAT partition and finish install until reboot and complete installation.

- Once in XP, Install Chipset, LAN and Audio, download Nvidia Driver and reboot. It will automatically reboot in XP

 

6) REACTIVATING THE OSX PARTITION / ENABLING DUALBOOT

 

- Install Acronis Disk Director from the "Software" folder. SHUT DOWN Computer.

- Connect the HDD as MASTER and CDROM as Slave and Start computer. Boot in XP

- Start Acronis and click on the "NONE" partition and select "Make Active" from the left sidebar menu. Click the flag icon at the top and proceed.

- Shutdown computer and reboot to select which OS you would like to use.
