That should work according to the way you are phrasing things out. Just make sure you restore that image on the your desginated NTFS partition. Visit the Leo4All wiki, as the directions are listed there too, just cleaned some sections out.

Since I hate installing all the software and drivers from the beginning.

Will Acronis Disk Director Suite 10 do the job?

Also you don't mention how will be the partition of the disk Guid or mbr? Also from the customization menu of Leopard shall we install the dual boot option or single boot?

thx

Oh, thanks for reminding me. Yes, use MBR partition scheme. And DO NOT choose the dual boot option. Use Single boot, MBR bootloader. All should work then. Acronis Disk Director will not do the job for Mac OS X. You will need to use that utility only for creating a new partition for Windows Vista. Nothing more. Hope this helps buddy. =)

Well I have made it to have dual boot, without touching the Vista Partition. I just installed with single boot with MBR in the new partition, then repaired the Vista MBR and added with easyBCD the dual option menu. It boots in both systems without any problem and without the need of the Leopard DVD.

Then I tried to upgrade to 9.2.2 but I got kernel panic, so I downgrade it again to 9.0.2 that was installed. I will dig a bit about this and try again.

Now I have some other issues, Toast doesn't seems to work. I have tried both 8 & 9 Titanium releases but both hang and stops responding. Is any know issue about toast?

WinLinMac01 04-18-2008 05:06 PM

Did you use the kernel installer method from pcwiz?

Also when you press enter in the darwin bootloader, what is the default partition that is highlighted? You know there is a way to make it boot into Leopard by default without selecting the appropriate partition you know. =)

@ WinLinMac01 I know that I can boot directly to Leopard, but I want to have as primary the Vista partition since my wise is using it...

Then For the kernel update I used the manual copy and paste method. I will try later the pcwiz and kext helper and I will post back if it succeed.

Do you know anything about the Toast app?

WinLinMac01 04-18-2008 07:17 PM

Not a problem.
I would recommend using Toast Titanium 9. That appears to work the best with most of our AMD systems. =)

Basicaly I have tried it but it's not working.

How Do I see if the update of the kernel was successful, since I have tried the pcwiz and kext helperr did the restart with -f -v but I don't know if the update was ok.
