chimpezman Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Well, I have fully booting and working XP pro on my first harddrive(sata), and got the start up screen for 10.5.2 of kalyway's newly realeased iso. I installed, restarted and it booted from the first harddrive as i suspected it would. I went to my bios on my evga 680i mobo and tried to move my second HD to the first boot drive, but it wouldnt move. 1-im 0'ing out second HD(sata also) right now 2-Is there anything i can do to select which HD to boot from without restarting after setting it in the BIOS?(probably a stupid question, but im new to osx86 projects so bear with me) 3-ANY help is much appreciated, and suggestions would also be amazing. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadphoto14 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 This is exactly what I have been trying to figure out, except I haven't even installed leopard on it yet. I need help getting started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpezman Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 Well, i have it fully installed and working amazing minus LAN and sound on my 680i mobo...i used the new kalyway 10.5.2 dvd and it was very fast starting up...no 'wait 100 years for the apple logo' in the beginning. Im still looking for LAN and sound drivers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadphoto14 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 So, how did you do it? Im still looking for a simple guide for me to follow so I can dual boot on two separate drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpezman Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 downloaded kalyway 10.5.2 full dvd from the usual place full of pirates burn to dvd+rw with poweriso pop it in my IDE dvd drive configured my BIOS to the correct settings (power see3 or whatever and the other basic settings i used from another guide like lifehacker or something) reboot and the darwin shows up wait until i got to part when it says press any key to boot cd i guess..then press F8 and then in the field type "-v" to show any errors you may get(i didnt have any just booting to the installer) Wait..maybe 1 minute...then i got the installer window to select my language..and go through regular install...im still working on getting my LAN and Audio to work at all... 1-What graphics card do you have? it will determine what graphics driver you will use to get its full resolution mines an xfx 7600 gt xxx--i used 'natit' or something....you get to select those in a part of the installer on the left there is a 'customize' button..click it and go to graphics for this select only one. *also* make sure you go into disk utility before any of this and erase and click 'security options' and do at least ZERO OUT DATA. To make sure its formatted in mac osx journalled..you can name it whatever you want.. mine is 'Macintosh'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpezman Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 when you install also go to third party something...make sure you select 'ktext helper'...i used that when i installed ethernet drivers from this post http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=89475 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadphoto14 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Everytime I put my kalaway DVD into my DVD-rom drive and then boot from it, it just says NTLDR missing. I've tried it on two different downloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keypox Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 this exactly what i want to do... dont want to start new thread... i trying to do dual boot on notebook too on same hd though so thats a different story... I have vista on one HD and want to install kalyway 10.5.2 on other.... i am scared to do as i dont wanna kill my vista. I think that you can us BCDedit or easybcd http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 yeah easybcd run it in vista and tell me what happens i do believe this will allow you to edit boot options and enable the osx install ok yep should work "Setting up and configuring Windows boot entries is simple, and there is no easier way to quickly boot right into Linux, Mac OS X, or BSD straight from the Windows Vista bootloader - on the fly, no expert knowledge needed!" Will i have any problems installing with evga 650i and 8800gt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
