i just installed Zeph's Leopard 10.5.2 REV.2, but windows bootloader doesnt give me option to boot into Leopard.. Thanx..

I have a few questions before i install zephs leopard 10.5.2 AMD REV 2... would i be able to get back into my win xp 32bit if i choose to install EFI? and wat abt my BIOS if i install EFI? will there be no more BIOS? will i still need it?

i recently installed the first release of Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.1 REV 1 and when i as soon as i get to desktop it crashes in 3-4 seconds and comes up with a blank screen with a cursor (non blinking) in the top left.. then shows the log in…

“is http://osx86.wikidot.com/ the wiki for Zephyroth Leopard AMD 10.5.2 Rev.2 as well?”

“ok wat if i select the single boot option? even when i have xp already installed on my first partition? do u think ill get the bootloader that way? n should be able to boot into leopard?”

“if i make leopard partiton active and xp inactive.. i get "MISSING OPERATING SYSTEM" Tried to rewrite MBR.. it didnt help.. i get no bootloader.. just boots into xp.. i booted into a bootable cd for active partition recovery (data backup) w…”

“how to rewrite MBR? cos i dont get the darwin bootloader at all. and when i boot from the dvd, just gives me the option to get into the installer even after making the partition active.”

“well ive tried using boot managers like from extended fdsik to try to boot into leopard n i got "invalid operating system" plus i tried - Boot DVD with F8 -s type: fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 flag 1 write quit reboot & it still didnt work.. it jus…”

“as i had xp first, am i not on the MBR partition table with MBR boot sector? i think i am as i had xp first.. pls correct me if im wrong..”

“tried it.. no darwin bootloader or none for that matter.. just booted back straight into xp..”

“bump ok wat if i choose the single boot - guid boot loader? can i still boot back into xp later by using a boot manager?”

“is there an issue with selecting the dual boot - windows boot loader in REV2 ?”

“i tried the chain0 method plus ive tried this as well --- http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=6890 when i use the boot manager from extended fdisk and try to boot to leopard it says invalid operating system..”

“DFI Lan Party NF4 ULTRA-D AMD 3000 Venice 160 GB SATA Seagate 256 MB 7600GT EVGA 1GB Corsair XMS i did select DUAL BOOT - Windows Bootloader in the installer.. plus i just reinstalled and same issue.. EasyBCD is for vista.. ive got XP insta…”

“so u saying EFI helps in smooth installation of Leopard on x86 machines? wat different bootloaders do we have? n their advantages?”

“Would EFI affect my current Windows XP installation on my current hard disk? what are the benefits of having an EFI emulator when BIOS is still there? and is this PC EFI or just EFI? Thanx for the reply!”

“well sure it seems to be clearly compatible, but what do i do abt the issue?”

“ok i just realised this topic is in the wrong forum.. can this be moved?”

“have tried -x as well and same issue puttabong - after zeph's release for amd users i believe otherwise i thought the nforce chipset was a major no-no for hackintosh users”

“system specs - Amd Athlon 3000 venice DFI nforce 4 ultra-d mobo (currently using the marvell yukon lan port for my ethernet conn) tried using -v its the same”

“dont really want to try rev 2 as it has too many options during install and im sure ill mess up there..ive finally got so far with rev 1 but im just one step away from getting to the desktop.. hence i just want to get this sorted.”

“wud this work well with nf4 chipsets for amd?”

“how do i use dvd as bootloader?”
