Is there a safe way to access Linux on the external drive and have xp on the internal drive while being able to disconnect the external drive from pc at any time? (You should run Fix Boot of Windows for your internal hard disk before these steps.)Īdrian15 advice for this kind of task is #Classical solution.I have Linux in my second hard disk and I follow other howto instructions but I cannot get it to be chainloaded from Windows.How do I chainload GRUB from Windows Vista.

I forget what the actual setup options are, but its farely straightforward. NOTE: Before continuing, here's some more info: How to: Install the Vista Bootloader on Windows XP - The NeoSmart Filesġ3. Place C:\Windows\Boot folder from your Vista machine onto your XP installation in the same place.

Download EasyBCD 1.7.2 (I couldn't get it to work with version 2.0) (Do not attempt to run it yet)ġ0. Once done, reboot and it should boot into windows.ĩ. Do a restore on the OSX partition that you saved off before (do not reformat anything).Ĩ. Once booted into windows successfully, restart and re-insert your OSX boot USB drive.ħ.

You don't need to install drivers or anything yet.Ħ. Install windows normally and let it reboot when done to finish the install. If it works with leaving the format how it is, then cool, if not, do a quick format as FAT32.ĥ. Take out the USB boot disk and install Windows XP via the Dell Restore CD (Like I did) or a USB drive or whatever you have to boot windows into onto the WIN Partition. NOTE: The Windows Partition Must be the first partition, OSX can be secondĤ. I have no suggestions besides Boot Magic. If you run into issues, try another partitioner. (To be honest, I used Boot Magic from a boot disk I had but I see no reason why this shouldn't work.) I've also heard of other people that had problems with the partitions from Disk Utility. Make one partition FAT32 for Windows (I named mine WIN) and the other one as Mac Journaled (I named this one OSX). After the image has been copied off, choose partition and select your 2 partitions and choose Master Boot Record in the options. With the boot USB disk, boot into the OSX installer and use Disk Utility to save the image to an external USB drive.ģ. Create a working OSX install on the entire hard drive (no partitions yet)Ģ. NOTE: Before starting you need access to a Windows Vista machineġ.
Ok I'll try to expand on this later.but here it goes: (also it's quite possible I read the chameleon dual boot instructions wrong) Sorry, I know I'm half-venting, but just also giving feedback on another method. I'd say if I had to make a dualboot again, my time would go from 10 hrs (slightly exaggerated) -> 2 hrs. I know many of you swear by chameleon, but EasyBCD was the way to go for me (I was just happy I had access to a Vista machine). Once that folder and framework are there, it's ridiculously easy and you can even set which OS you want to boot by default. I did this on a 10v and I know EasyBCD is only supposed to be for Vista but it DOES work with XP, you just need the C:\Windows\Boot folder from Vista to make it work on XP. I finally tried EasyBCD which needs to be setup in XP but was PERFECT and quick. Trying for 5 hrs to get it right over and over again and not getting anywhere. Maybe I missed some nuance to the dualboot installs suggested but chameleon just wouldn't do it for me for a XP / OS X dual boot.
