Im currently doing it myself (38 minutes and Leopard will be done!)

Ender42 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Ok, so I just finished up and it works perfectly! I did exactly what 2805 said and it works just fine! Posting from inside of leopard right now! Whoo! But there is weird little problem. My on board ethernet doesn't work unless I boot with the install cd in. Anybody know why that is? edit: Okay, so after a reboot, and software update the ethernet is working without the cd in! yay! Only if I could get my PCMCIA bus to work. Oh well, I will always have XP to boot into for that till I get it figured out. And now to go to bed...or to install the iphone sdk Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96614-dual-boot-hell/#findComment-690013 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im currently doing it myself (38 minutes and Leopard will be done!) thanks for the response and i am glad it helped someone, but i have a diffrent sitchuation. i have two ide hdd one 200 ,300 my 200gb has three partitions (Vista [E] ,Movies [D] and Music [C]) and i used my entire 300 to install osx [G]. in the install under custimize i picked the EFI-MBR option i installed it and everything went awesomely, but i dont know how to boot to it, i have macdrive and i can see that all the files are there. i HAVE no clue what to do next. i tried using easybcd but i dont know how to link it to the CHAIN0 file. i tried using cmd line "bcdedit /copy {current} /d “Mac OS X” Copies information from Vista to use as basis for Mac OS X Boot Loader bcdedit /enum active Enumerates the selectable OS' from Vista's Boot Loader bcdedit /set {YOUR-GUID-HERE} PATH \chain0 Replace {YOUR-GUID-HERE} with the ID that is listed for Mac OS X under the enumerated list" but when i use "bcdedit /copy {current} /d “Mac OS X” i get "A description for the new entry must be specified.Run "bcdedit /?" for command line assistance." and i have no idea what to do then UPDATE Ok so i tried using F8 when my computer boots and selected my 300GB HDD and it WORKED.. well kind of.. so i typed "-v" and it gets stuck for like a hour at "Mac OS Version 9b18 Kernal Version Darwin Kernel Version 9.1.0:Nov 17 02:56:34 2007;made by ToH:xnu-1228.02`1/Build/obj/release_I386" and it just stays there so i tried "-v -f cpus=1" and same thing and with out any commands i get the apple screen then it tells me i need to restart {GREY SCREEN OF DEATH} when i use -x it boots but i get stuck at the RESTORE your mac stuff. it just gets stuck and starts over.
