karpais Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Hi there, sorry for this newbie question but does dual boot Leo4All v Vista works the sameway like normal dualbooting: It is based on the chain0 method. But it doesn't use the boot.ini file. Since Vista use bcdedit to configure the boot loader. Correct me if I am wrong. 1) Install vista on one disk, Leopard on the other. In my case, I install Vista first on disk connected to SATA1, then leopard on the disk connected to SATA2. I didn't unplug the vista disk when I installed Leopard, I just changed the boot sequence in Bios when I need to boot into leopard during the installation. I guess it doesn't matter which OS you install first. I format leopard disk as MBR. If you want to use GUID, there is a better guide in the forum. For me, I can not get through the leopard installation if I use guid. 2) Set the vista disk at the 1st place of the boot sequence. I tried to use the leopard boot loader to boot vista. I failed. I hit F8 and I can not see vista( on the other disk ) on the list. Therefore I turned to vista bootloader. 3) boot into vista, insert the Kalyway DVD, copy the "CHAIN0" file to C:\ 4) open "command prompt" as administrator. (The following codes are from) reference CODE bcdedit /copy {current} /d “Mac OS X” bcdedit /enum active bcdedit /set {GUID} PATH \chain0 Note: In the first command type {current} as it is, literally..nothing else..just {current} with the brackets. In the 3rd command however, replace the {GUID} with the alphanumeric GUID you see in the enumerated list under MAC OS X. You can see this list on your terminal as soon as you type the 2nd command above.! As far as i know it is the last entry in the this list. Also it is same as the one that shows up after the 1st command.! Its the one besides IDENTIFIER not the one besides resume object.! For Ex: bcdedit /set {38912a-233fdf-45ghghhg-fdfe4} PATH \chain0 5) Dont forget to set bcdedit /timeout # Where # is the number of seconds you want the potion to display. Reboot you should see the list. Thank you in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96626-dual-boot-leo4all-v-vista/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotta90 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Dual boot is dual boot, I have tried xp/vista/wmce/leo all at once on my desktop and current using my lappy listed below. I use tboot which seem very nice even when I risked my installation using instructions here with, tboot and 10.5.0(TOH) and [skipped 10.5.1] using Kalway 10.5.2 comboupdate, and things are good. __________________________ Toshiba Satalite 1.6GHz, 1.5Gb Ram, (0) WMC 2005 dual boot /w (1) Leo 10.5.2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96626-dual-boot-leo4all-v-vista/#findComment-690257 Share on other sites More sharing options...
