hi umm i have 512mb ram And only 55 gigabytes can i still do it if i get acronis or something

[phreakbox]

you can do this withoout acronis or if your mbr crashes mbr: 1. install mac os x 2. install xp 3. install linux > when mac os x crashes or you reinstall win xp, on linux in grub configuration file you need add chainloader: find a file and edit it: boot/grub/menu.lst add another chainloder: title MacOSX rootnoverify (hd1,0) makeactive chainloader +1 hda(x, y) - x means is a number of partition where you installed mac os x (1 is first partition), y is number of hard disk (0 is first hdd)

yes, the usb mice can't work, work only toucpad. Wlan can't work with Intel Pro Wireless. You should buy a new usb wireless adapter or pcmcia compatbile airport driver.

1. delete all partitions

2. create part. NTFS PRIMARY for xp

3. install xp

4. install disk director suite 10 with os selector

5. run os selector

6. create another partition FAT32 for macos

7. install macos on FAT32 with HFS+ (erase journal)

8. create 3 partition for linux (EXT3 - root, EXT3 - home and swap) on extended logiical drive

9. reboot

10. put DVD linux, boot with acronis in linux and install linux on these 3 partitions

All 3 OS installed in 1 HARD DRIVE (SATA 100 GB).

That's sweet! I have Disk Director Suite 10.0 and I can't seem to find a way to get that nice XP style boot menu you're running. Mine has this nasty looking Win95 style boot menu. How can I get mine to look like yours?

[phreakbox]

on acronis boot loader look on top right corner here is button with green arrow. just click it and you can use boot loader like xp style.

Hi there....

can you please explain how did you manage to get a working keyboard and mouse...

becouse when I install OSX I can't get them to work...

I have installed OSX many times on my PC so I now the drill...

What packages did you select during install...

I tried PS2 keyboard fix..but no luck...

I don't understand how can I use the keyboard and mouse during installation but afterwards it doesn't work...

THX...

Hmmm... I didn't know it was even possible to run Bootlegged OSX on an IBM-type PC...

[PissSniffer]

Marcham is right. Apple's OS X is only legally allowed to run on an Apple certified machine.

Running it on something that isn't Apple = breach of their User License Agreement.
