Hello friends, here is my situation:

Currently I’m running WinXP (on 250GB HDD) and iPC 10.5.6 (on 1TB HDD – MBR partition) and doing dual boot by adding “chain0” file method in drive C: of WinXP (250GB HDD).

Now, I want to install Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on my 1TB HDD (which has 1 free MacOS Journaled partition, MBR partition type though) so that I can triple boot WinXP, iPC 10.5.6 and Snow Leopard 10.6.2

Right now, when I boot and select “MacOS x86” from the two options “WinXP” and “MacOS x86” to boot into iPC 10.5.6, I get 4 options (of 4 HDD partitions of 1TB HDD), and the boot screen says “Darwin/x86 boot 5.0.32 – Chameleon 1.0.11” and then I select 1st (1st HDD partition) option to boot into iPC 10.5.6

I tried installing Snow Leopard using Hazard’s distro 10.6.2 onto my 2nd partition of 1TB HDD – MacOS Journaled, MBR, it installs fine, but when I select 2nd HDD option (onto which I installed Snow 10.6.2) in that “Darwin/x86 boot 5.0.32 – Chameleon 1.0.11” boot screen, the screen goes blank and nothing happens as if the monitor isn’t getting anything to display and goes off to sleep.

I tried using 10A432 DVD with modified OSInstall.mpkg file for MBR partition type, but same blank screen.

I also tried that auto script method, no luck :(

MY SPECS:
C2D E6750 2.66ghz
Intel DG33FB
Palit GTS250 512mb
250gb + 1tb HDD
1+2 gb ram

Also, currently my IDE DVD RW doesn’t work in iPC 10.5.6, any solution to that?

-THANKS

Install the latest version of Chameleon to the drive from where you "boot" (in this case, I guess its Leopard).

thx ushpiy, it worked, installed latest version of Chameleon RC4 in iPC 10.5.6, then did fresh install on another drive wid Hazards 10.6.2 DVD, all working fine. Great thx :)

any solution to make my IDE DVD RW work on iPC 10.5.6 would be great, thx!
