cggc Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 If you have two separated disks, one for XP and one for Leo ¿What method do you recomend? I tried to use the "chani(0)" but it isn't work... Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keypox Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Quit Disk Utility and continue installing Mac OS X; remember to select 'customize' and specify which components you require for your system. Once installed, load up Disk Utility again and repair permissions what does the bolded part mean and how do you do it? I figure it prob means while in mac os load up disk util and repair permissions? I am doing this now and at the part to install the os nvm figured it out just load it the same way as if your going to reinstall.. but im getting still waiting for root device after install... using new leov3, kalyway never did it though trying to repair now hopefully that fixes it...

andywt Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Thanks for the great guide it certainly did the trick for me. I successfully created a dual-boot Server 2008 and OS X configuration using separate drives for each OS. The question I have is, is it ok to let Apple Update update OS X and the other modules or will it render my my machine unusable? By the way, DISKPART on Server 2008 does not allow the TYPE parameter. I created the partition just specifying the size and all worked well. One other clarification, when using EasyBCD, make sure you chose the "Plain x86" option for the Mac OS. It seems to eliminate the need to copying the boot.efi (Chain0) file. It is truly magic. Thanks again for the hard work on the Guide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estebanrao Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 amazing man!! dual booting XP and Leopard now!! I love you!! (in a not {censored} way hehe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven I Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Thanks for the great guide. One question, I have Darwin controlling the boot sequence, but would you happen to know the correct way of going about uninstalling leopard and having just vista on my system? Just don't want to delete the partition and have the Bootloader no longer work. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estebanrao Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 One question... is there a way to set up the default partition in Darwin Bootloader? right now I'm using XP's bootloader with CHAIN0, but when I select Mac OS X it takes to the Darwin Bootloader that, by default, has XP partition as the Default one Thanks!

meansizzler Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 What settings do you choose for the mac os install? Have a core2duo system, and using Kalway 10.5.1, I use EFI/Vanilla and GUID type partition, which works for a single OS install but not for dualboot keep getting the HFS+ Partition error, tried all the fixes mentioned in the guide but no luck..

djfdat Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 the kalyway make bootable hd disc, i was wondering if that should be installed after creating the hfs+ partition in windows. like install the make bootable disc on the hfs+ partition and then install the osx cd please if can be answered quick because im sittin at the make bootable screen waiting to take the next step thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djfdat Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 ok scratch that last one, i have the dual boot up, im at the part where i set the mac partition as the active partition. When i try to boot, the boot process freezes when it assigns the airport an ethernet address. it freezes at the same spot when i try to boot from the osx cd. single user mode should still work but i have no idea what to do with it -F brings up the grey load screen but gets the dark gray screen over to restart, -x freezes at different lines every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omnicoder Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Im about to replace my xp vista dualboot with this vista mac dual boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I decided to scrap my old installation and start from scratch with Kalyway, since iATKOS v1.0ir2 wasn't doing jack for me. So, I also decide to try it on a new partition on the same drive that Vista is stored on. So I've installed it, but I got the HFS partition error. "Whoopeeee!" I shout, because this is as close as I've ever gotten to actually getting into Mac OS X. I do the single user commands, which (as expected) corrupted winload.exe. That's fine, and normal. I'm finally getting the Darwin boot screen, so this is going better than I expected. Except for one thing: I can't get into OS X. When I select OS X at the Darwin boot screen, it gives me the gray Apple logo for a little while with the little loading spinner, and then... blank. Just a black screen with no prompt, no text, no display, no nothing. I'll go back into installation and futz around with disk utility. Maybe I forgot to repair my permissions, as I was half-asleep when making this installation. All right, thanks for your help. -Cadillac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Okay, you can disregard just about everything I wrote before. After my last post, I repaired the permissions and tried to boot into OS X. Surprise! It didn't work. Then, I tried to boot in safe mode. THIS time it worked! Hoorah! Since all safe mode is is a normal startup ignoring the driver files, this suggests a driver problem. How do I uninstall drivers? Should I do it from the Kalyway DVD or from Mac in safe mode? AWESOME guide, by the way. It helped me a lot- I tried several other guides, but they didn't work. iATKOS doesn't work as well as Kalyway, and all the other guides I saw were for iATKOS. This one actually got my computer going! AWESOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DripDrown Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 One question... is there a way to set up the default partition in Darwin Bootloader?right now I'm using XP's bootloader with CHAIN0, but when I select Mac OS X it takes to the Darwin Bootloader that, by default, has XP partition as the Default one Thanks! Great guide. I ended up getting Leo4all running on the first attempt following your instructions. I have the exact same question as estebanrao. I tried using Darwin for everything, but found out that I needed the windows partition to be active to get Fusion to load my existing XP partition, and now I have to select OS X two times everytime I reboot my machine (annoying). I am sure I will figure it out, but if you have any thoughts I would really like the help. Thank you! EDIT: After researching since I posted this and attempting to get the Darwin bootloader to default to the second partition, I have decided that it isn't possible without switching to a different bootloader (GRUB or Acronis).

MoiX Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Mines the same as yours Dripdown only Vista bootloader first which if I choose Vista boots Vista, but if I choose OSX, I get Darwins bootloader with 3 options 1) Vista (default which returns me to vista's bootloader) 2) OSX (I have to arrow down to this, but OSX boots fine if i do) 3) my DATA partition (not actually bootable) I've tried editing the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist file with <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>rd=diskXsY</string> with the appropriate X & Y values for the OSX partition (checked them in OSX using Disk Util but forget my values atm as Im using Vista right now) but it wouldn't default to that partition or (again I forget as it was last week) OSX wouldn't load with HFS error or similar. are those Kernal Flags entries in Boot.plists still applicable in 10.5.2 as Im loathe to drop the Vista bootloader as I have reasons for keeping it. btw this is the Wiki i used to glean the boot.plist options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
