lhoBas Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 (edited) Hello Guys, I've got a ISO of the 10.4.7 DVD (Patched by JaS), and it works fine for me in VMWare. Im suprised of the power from Mac OS X, and wanna give it a try as Dual-Boot OS. My Computer is a: - Motherboard: P5RD1-VM, ASUS - Processor: Pentinum 4 3,06 GHz HT - HDD: 2, 1 of 80 GB and 1 of 40 GB - Graphics: ATi Radeon X300 on a ASUS pci-ex card (128mb) (If you need more info, tell me) On the 80 GB disk, i have 2 partitions. 1 of 40GB with Windows XP on it (The first partition on HD1, hd(0,0) Correct me if im wrong) and 1 of 40GB with my data on it (Partition 2 on HD1, hd(0,1)). My 40GB disk is empty. When i create a partition on it, it will be Partition 1 on HD2, hd(1,0). On this disk i wanna install Mac OS X. I've made myself a plan how to install the dual-boot. 1. Make a image of the WinXP partition, and from the data 2. Install WinGrub, make 2 rules, WinXP to hd(0,0) and MacOSX to hd(1,0) 3. Boot with the DVD of MacOSX, make a partition on HD2 4. Install MacOSX on this partition (With the patch, and SSE3) 5. Reboot and have fun with WinXP and MacOSX on a Dual-Boot Will this work? I've read some howto's of dual-boots with OSx86, and about the installation, and with my knowledge i created this plan. Do i forget some steps? Do i have to make the partition of OSX to the active partition? Will my configuration (my PC hardware) work with OSX? Excuse me for my bad english, and already thanks Edited January 14, 2007 by lhoBas Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/38628-installing-osx86-winxp-dual-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhoBas Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 http://wakeuppakistan.blogspot.com/2006/02...and-win-xp.html I'll try this tut, without the patching (i have the right DVD already), bunt with the Chain0 trick and the WindowsXP boot from the Boot-DVD.

Mebster Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 The chain0 isn't necessary for all. If you use the chain 0 method it means XP is your active partition. My active partition is OSX and so darwin is my bootloader. Not chain 0. I don't know if it matters which it is but for me it's less work to keep it as darwin.
