How can I dual boot Vista and Mac OSX 10. Mac installed first.

**isikh** · 09-13-2008 05:05 AM

Hey I want to dual boot not virtualize vista because I want to play games too. I had Kalyway 10.5.2 then combo updated using kalyway to 10.5.3 then I used apple update to go to 10.5.4. Now I want to install Vista and dual boot Mac OSX 10.5.4 and Vista. How would I do this?

P.S.: I have VMware Fusion and Parallels 3 if I need them for anything...I can also download...I mean buy anything else I need

I have made a few hackintosh boxes ...none obviously with mac installed first but im pretty sure if u boot into vista install ( bootable DVD ) so that vista will boot then download easyBCD and add the mac 0sx86 and you shod be able to get the menu boot screen from vista

sorry if this doesnt help , but havn't myself tried to with osx first.... iv had my MBR get messed and have both already installed , I did what I said above and was able to recover with easyBCD

isikh, could you share how you did this?

I've got OSX running perfectly on a Toshiba A205 and would like to add vista on another partition in a dualboot configuration. I know that there are guides that involved installed Vista first. But I would prefer to not have to go through the whole OSX installation process again if possible.

My Toshi has the Realtek RTL-8187 which is hooked to and internal USB, hopefully yours does too. The driver files you need are here.

In the WiFi Fix folder is the Realtek driver install package. Install the driver and then let it reboot. Go to 'system/library/extensions' folder and find rtl8187.kext' Open it with TextMate and find this line: <integer>33161</integer> and change numbers to 33175. Restart your computer.

I installed this driver and made the kext change after installing leo4all v10.5.2. Then I upgraded to 10.5.3 with Kalyway UpdCombo10.5.3.pkg at which time the wireless drivers started working. Then I upgrade to v10.5.4 and v10.5.5.

I already done that and it didn't works....

I think my onboard wireless card is an Atheros 5006X..

My Toshi is A205-SP5816..

I appreciate any of your help...
