I'm sure this has been posted many times, but I've been searching for days on how to installed ideneb on my 1005HA with XP already installed. I have a second 32gb partition setup and ready to install ideneb, but don't want to mess up the XP partition I already have. I've found tons of guide on how to install, but none address this specific situation. I have an Acronis backup of the XP partition, so I can restore that if that would make the installation easier. Thanks for any help.

look at this thread. just read and it will explained how i did it up to quad boot xp, 7, osx and ubuntu. this will work with dual boot. good luck.

Yes, I agree. The information/guide is already available but people just don't want to read and look for it.

Cheers

As I said, I've found many, many guides to install. But none I found specifically dealt with XP already installed on the 1005HA.

my bad... http://www.hackint0sh.org/f213/136342.htm keep forgeting that ctrl+v isnt paste in os x.

looked it up and this the specific thread i was talking about:

ok i got it to work. took me a while to set it up and several reinstalls. i used this guide here. Triple/Quad-Boot Your PC With Windows, Ubuntu, & Mac OSX | Windows 7 | Windows Tools, Help & Guides started of with windows xp then windows 7. after that i installed osx but got some got some boot0: error. tried this pressing enter after each cmd: boot with install disk and pressed "F8", Typed "diskutil list", Typed "fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0" <== use "rdisk" with your disk number here !!!, Typed "p" to verify which partition is for MacOSX (1, 2, 3, etc.), Typed "f 3" <== use your partition number here !!, Typed "write", Typed "y" (yes you are sure), Type "exit" (to quit). after this i was able to recover the Chameleon boot loader. last installed ubuntu in my last partition in ext 4 and mount / under advance partition to create. now this is real important! changed to install grub boot loader in ubuntu / partition. finished install and and whenever i boot ill boot Chameleon which will give me 4 OS choices. 2 windows ntfs, osx and linux. if i select linux it will launch grub loader where you can launch ubuntu. hope i wasn't to confusing and best of luck if anyone is to attempt this.

good luck and the link is: http://mintywhite.com/vista/triplequ...buntu-mac-osx/
