roisoft, naquaada, I LOVE YOU! (not really, but nearly)
My PC is in this moment installing Leopard. I tried it at first with the Leopard DVD with VIAATA-kext, 'cause I couldn't find the "original". I booted without any flags and he detected my hd. This day is like christmas - nearly better. ;-)

Stay tuned. I'll post about my success, when the installation is complete!

:-)

Ok guys. The Installation was successful. But when I boot, and it want to boot from the hd, it says "HFs+ partition error".
What does that mean?

// rdiskXsX: you have to know the proper partition names and replace them with X.
In my case, it would rdisk1s1, first HDD, and first partition, on which leopard has been installed, which needs to be made bootable //

1 -> Launch DVD
2 -> At boot prompt, type -s (single user mode)
3 -> Type:

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0
update
f 1
w (y)
q

4 ->
cd /usr/standalone/i386
./startupfiletool -v /dev/rdis0sX ./boot (X is your partition)

5 ->
mount -uw /
mount -t hfs /dev/disk0sX /Volumes

6 ->
bless -device /dev/disk0sX -setBoot -verbose

7 -> reboot

after that, you will fix the windows boot

boot over windows dvd

open command prompt and type

diskpart

select disk 0

list partition

select partition X (X=windows partition)

active

exit

bootrec /RebuildBCD

Add installation to boot list? (yes)

diskpart

select partition Y (Y=leopard partition)

active

exit

Hey, thanks. I'll do that.

naquaada 01-13-2008 01:20 AM

hm, I used always fdisk -e /dev/disk1. I have two HDs in my system, the MacOS boot HD is Primary Master. The other one is a Mac Data HD, there's no Windoze.

roisoft 01-13-2008 01:24 AM

I think that crawle wants a dual boot Win/Leo in the same hd
