wigworm Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Should work with no problem at all. You probably need a Jmicron patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtotho Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 if you dont mind me asking this question here instead of looking around for it.. what does this the Jmicron patch fix... and is it applied after the install? thanks.... and Wigworm, assumin this motherboard is that compatible, should your guide with Kalyway disk instead of iAtkos... i already have both but i prefer, and kalyways has better reviews. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I don't trust pre-packed drivers, as it rarely works. If that's Kalyway's advange (pre-packed driver, I would say don't bother). The Jmicron patch fix let OS X recognize your eSATA. But I would say you probably don't need it as I've tested on an ASROCK board that use the same Jmicron driver for SATA port. It worked with or without patch. I've never used Kalyway disk. But it really shouldn't matter. My method works with iATKOS because it uses MBR partition scheme where Kalyway uses GUID scheme. My tripple boot method doesn't support Guid scheme. At least I haven't personally tested it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtotho Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 o, well i usually dont select any of the packages... and i have the option for mbr but its guid at default. Are u saying I should use MBR to use dual and triple boot? my set up is gonna have xp and leopard on the same partition and i hope to dual boot with vista bootloader. Before when i tried with the guid i kept on getting b0error Also Wigworm, fyi you dont need vista for its bootloader. You can install it using EasyBCD on xp.

Kalyways works with both I guess. I think to use EasyBCD, you have to partition it to MBR since that EasyBCD add a boot by adding an entry in MBR. I haven't tested single drive solution. It may work. Just make sure that Window drive is on the first partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
