I finally got my desktop to run iPC OSx86.
It's installed on an external hard disk. I have to boot up with -v -f or it doesn't work though.

A few issues/questions:
1. System Information shows that QE is not supported and CI is software only. My graphics card, GeForce 8500GT should support QE/CI according to the HCL. What can I do to get this to work?
2. My external hard drive that I'm running OSX off is basically an IDE hard disk in an external USB enclosure. I have one other IDE har drive(internal) that I'm running XP on. If i just pull the IDE hard disk out of the enclosure and put it internally as IDE, can I set up a dual boot or do I need to reinstall iPC all over again?
3.My IDE drive(NTFS) did not show up inside OSX while my SATA drive(FAT32) did.How do I check if this is because if not recognizing IDE or not recognizing NTFS, because I did select NTFS-3G-Fuse at install.
4. Any chance there's a way I could lose the -v -f at boot up. Doesn't matter if I can't but it would be nice that's all.

Any help is greatly appreciated. This forum is why I got this far in the first place. So thanks everyone.
