How to dual boot leopard and vista guide

[bhst2]

I SEE ALOT OF PEOPLE ASKING ON HOW TO DO THIS

For zephyroth Leopard 10.5.2 AMD EFI Rev.2

 

YOU WILL HAVE TO START ALL OVER AND INSTALL VISTA AND LEO AGAIN AND DO IT THIS WAY

 

here is how i did it

boot with the leo disk

make your partitions make sure you select guid in the options format the first partition msdos for windows and the second partition extended journal make sure you name it (I named mine Leo)

next install windows to the first partition you will have to format the partition with the windows disk before you install (It should be the one name UNTITLED 1 and show up at the second partition in windows)

next install leo (select all the stuff you need for you system but for the bootloader only select the mbr bootloader in the single boot options)

after leo finishes installing

boot with the leo disk

hit f8

type -s

after it goes through its stuff

type

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 (press enter)

flag 2 (enter)

quit (enter)

reboot (enter)

 

now your computer will boot into windows - it should have an error!!! if it does put in your windows disk reboot to it and than repair your windows install

after that is done reboot into windows and make sure it works

now reboot with the leo disk

press f8

type -s (press enter)

than type

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 (enter)

flag 3 (enter)

quit (enter)

reboot (enter)

 

than it will boot to leo's bootloader press enter and you should have something that looks like this

 

- 1. hd (0,1)

- 2. hd (0,2) Foreign BOOT (VISTA)

- 3. hd (0,3) LEOPARD

 

select the second one to boot xp or vista

select the third one to boot leopard

leave the first one alone

 

now both systems should work

took me 4 days to figure that out

hope it helps

Sorry for gravedigging.

 

I followed this guide until I came to the repair windows install part. Vista says it can't find any OS to repair.

When I boot up now I get the bootloader where I can choose Windows or OSX, when I try to boot Vista I get an error saying there's something wrong with the installation, but as I said it won't find it when I'm trying to repair it.

 

Anyone ?

Take a look at post#4

 

I use Vista as the bootloader. I installed Leo first on one drive, then I disconnected the drive and installed Vista/2k8 on the other drive, then I connected both drives and made the change on Vista boot loader. It should work too if using only one drive w/2 paritions - installing Vista first.
