AW well you can call to HP Support to know how to boot into firewire disks, cuz I cant try this, cant try Retail either cuz I dont have a whole disk to try T.T

Next year maybe I will buy a HDD if my super duper president let me use dollars...

Second try, anyone have any guesses on why System Profiler now shows "There was an error while gathering this information."

PS: I know the firewire boot isn't supported by the HP bios. I want to point the USB boot loader at the firewire drive. Anyone know of any links on how to do this? It is easy with Grub or Lilo on Linux for instance. This Chameleon/EFI emulation stuff has me stumped.

Cheers,

BHTm

I believe you need APPLESMBIOS, try asking this on IRC, irc.osx86.hu, then ask for some1 with 10.5.6 smbios or maybe is something else, good luck, post back if you have any progress

Eventually I hope I'll understand all the Chameleon documentation I can scour on the net, and I'll post back if I figure out how to boot from a USB stick and use a Firewire external hard disk as the root.

BTW, for the System Profile information, SMBIOEnabler.kext did the trick. My System Profiler now shows my hardware settings hacked HP/AMI bios and all:

I have an Asus Laptop A7K with AMD TUrion 64 x2 at 2.0Ghz and i don't know the mainboard mark with Vista Home Edition OEM.
I try to dual boot Vista and Leopard.
I tried different programs, inclusive Acronis Disk Suite (boot) and it said Boot Error 1 or smth like that.

Please open a new thread and I will help you, this is for HP Pavilions
