!WARNING!: any wintards comments are left on this blog will be completely deleted.

now for those who are wondering about osx86 are prolly thinking is it right for me is my hardware supported and what effects does this have on my computer?

if you love not being able to use a command line and are not used to installing os’s this tutorial is not for you

if you find this is not enough for you to switch this is not for you

now for those who arent affraid of a challenge lets move on i gave you a wiki link inside the “this” link and there are several forums you can visit but i really recommend InsanelyMac for the support is marvelous and the community completely exceptional

now ways of installing osx86?

you need

a blank dvd
your BIOS correctly configured to read the dvd drive first all you have to do is press del and hold it down as as you start up the computer before its in the operating system and youll get a little screen like this
now put the dvd drive first and save
the 3rd thing youll need to do will be note every bit of hardware you have

and research a distro that has the drivers you want in it (now the following screenshots are from a distribution of osx86 called iDeneb)

things you need to know before burning your osx86 dist.

there are some major distributions i recommend and you can get them from a torrent site such as PirateBay or mininova.com

so now you have your iDeneb(torrent) and your ready to go all you have to do now is burn your iso to a disc with a iso burner with the following iso burners ActiveISO(Windows) Brazero(Linux) ImageBurner(Mac) (these are all free opensource apps)

after burning it boot it up and you should get to the the first screen accept the licence and all the then youll get the “install to a destination” screen you wont see anything there there is a thing up the top called a globalmenu and in the menu there should be a utility column there should be a disk utility in that utility you have to erase the partition you want to install osx on and make it a hfs+ journaled partition (make sure you have your partitions organised and your boot loader youll see in this guide) after doing that close the window and click the destination

after that you get a prompt saying do you want to install osx you have to click customize and go through each category and tick the drivers which are appropriate for your x86 machine and install

common questions after install?

I have an ATI graphics card and its not listed

this post on insanely mac will help alot

My sound doest work

now this project is very well done and is great for everyone with intel souncards its called VoodooHDA

and for further questions and assistance i suggest you goto insanelymac

anyway enjoy your osx86 journey

windows linux and osx86 all in unison…

Legal stuff.

Sorry guys but first i need to put out the legal stuff this thread will not go against the code of conduct on the forum.

http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/eula/home.mspx

Now lets get started.

This topic is for those who have installed ubuntu first and want to install xp or osx after ubuntu.

Thing’s youll need for this.

Code:

USB.

Youll need the link to this page store it on the usb youll need it.


Ubuntu 8.04 or .10 disk.

Youll need this to create 3 seperate partition's, using the partition tool Gparted


Windows XP OEM Disk.

Youll need this to install the operating system.
Youll also need this to fix the bootloader if you have any problem's.


OSX86/Apple Leopard 10.5.5 Install Disk.

Youll need this to install osx on a partition.
youll need this to reinstall the darwin bootloader.

Im going to put this in list order. Its easier to read out you wont make many mistakes, But you can always fix them.

Step 1.

Take your Ubuntu 8.04 Install Disk.

Boot into the Ubuntu disk(under try before install option).
Now once your logged in goto System>Administration>Gparted/Partition Editor
Now youll see a partition which is marked as EXT3
If you have this partition taking up the whole Hard Drive, Then right click>Resize/Move Resize it enough for 2 partition’s.
Now create 2 Partition’s.
The first NTFS you will install Windows XP on this Partition.
The second partition will be FAT32. You will install OSX on this partition. as you cant make HFS by default.
Click Apply after its finished your done. Log out of the disk.

Step 2.

Take your Window’s XP OEM Disk.
Boot into it.
Now when you agree to the eula youll see the partition tool come up. now press enter on the one with NTFS and Quick Format it to NTFS or Keep the current file system option in the format menu.
Now let it install all the file’s when its finished press enter at the restart prompt

Quick note: You will notice when you reboot an error will come up and it will restart dont panic the resolution comes next.

Step 3.

Take your Ubuntu Disk.
Boot into it now start the Terminal. in Application’s> Accessories
Now put in the following commands.
sudo grub (wait for it to probe your BIOS)
Then find /boot/grub/stage1 press enter if it comes up with [hd0,0] then your set.
Now put in root (hd0,0).
And put in now put in setup (hd0)
Now to save everything you have done put in quit press enter.

Now you should boot into Ubuntu this what is supposed to happen.

Quote:

The next step is abit more complex but not to hard.

Example of grub list located in /boot/grub/menu.lst

title Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-21-generic
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-21-generic root=UUID=de36de4b-554a-4a0a-b69c-9b3ad10279a1 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-21-generic
quiet

title Windows Xp
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
chainloader +1
makeactive

title MacOSX
root (hd0,1)
chainloader –force +1

Your wondering why am i showing this well if you notice there is after rootnoverify(recommended for Windows XP bootloader issue’s) or root there is a (hd0,#) when your in gparted you will notice that there is /dev/sda1/ now Ubuntu is located on this one but you will notice (hd0,0)

so if sda1 it = (hd0,0) after root

Step 4.

Download Gparted on your normal Ubuntu 8.04 installation in Synaptic.
Then goto System>Administration> then youll see Partition Editor(Gparted) see the sda number for your Windows XP install. (Now remember the method above.)
Now open Terminal and put in the following command gksudo nautilus(This will open Nautilus in root.)
Now goto File System youll see a folder called boot open it then youll see a folder called grub open that then look for the file menu.lst double click on it and it will open it in root.
Next you will have to edit the list to boot into Windows XP and finish the installation remember the method with sda1 = hd0,0
Code:
```
title Windows Xp
rootnoverify (hd0,#)(Remember the method cut this text out.)
chainloader +1
makeactive
```
Paste that into the end of the file edit it to fit with the gparted list remember NTFS.(Save the file and reboot)

Step 5.

Boot into Windows XP on the installation disk.
hold down the key R to go into the Recovery Console.
Now put in the following commands fixboot and then fixmbr.
Reboot and see if Windows XP starts up.

Note: Dont panic because grub wont show where about to restore grub right now.

Step 6.

Boot into the Ubuntu installation disk. Under the try before install option.
Now put in the following commands.
sudo grub (wait for it to probe your BIOS)
Then find /boot/grub/stage1 press enter if it comes up with [hd0,0] then your set.
Now put in root (hd0,0).
And put in now put in setup (hd0)
Now to save everything you have done put in quit press enter.

Now we can finish the installation of Windows XP just start it up from the grub list with the xp disk inside your CD/DVD drive and it will finish hurray! you have Windows XP installed for what ever purpose.

The next step this is for users who want to install OSX/86

Please refer to the eula at the top of the post i am not giving any links to osx86 or hacked osx install’s.

Note:This is for apple hardware also.

Step 7.

Boot into your OSX install disk
When you have agreed to the EULA goto Utilitys in the Global Menu
Click Disk Utilitys You will see the FAT32 partition. goto Reformat and reformat it to hfs+ Journaled
Once its done exit the utility.
Now install the operating system. Your done! .

Note: You will get an error at reboot dont panic where going to sort it out. by reinstalling grub and activating partition with OSX.

Step 8.

Boot into the Ubuntu installation disk. Under the try before install option.
Now put in the following commands.
sudo grub (wait for it to probe your BIOS)
Then find /boot/grub/stage1 press enter if it comes up with [hd0,0] then your set.
Now put in root (hd0,0).
And put in now put in setup (hd0)
Now to save everything you have done put in quit press enter.

Note:This next step is vital. Where going to add OSX to the grub menu.lst file.

Step 9.

Boot into Ubuntu.
Now open Terminal and put in the following command gksudo nautilus(This will open Nautilus in root.)
Now goto File System youll see a folder called boot open it then youll see a folder called grub open that then look for the file menu.lst double click on it and it will open it in root.
Next you will have to edit the list to boot into OSX but thats not the end of it.
Remember when your putting OSX in the menu.lst file.

To put it in like this.
Code:
```
title MacOSX
root (hd0,1)(Remember the sda1 = hd0,0 but apply to the OSX partition, cut this text out.)
chainloader --force +1
```
Save the file.

Note:This next step is to fix the Darwin bootloader.

Step 10.

Boot into the OSX install disk.
Goto Utilitys and Terminal.(Now theres a different method to this one remember this sda1 = hd0,0 well forget that in this step just keep this one in mind flag2 = sda2)
Now put in the following command’s fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 Press Enter, then flag#(remember flag# = sda#) Press Enter, then Write, update, quit, reboot

Ok if you have a problem with grub loading up just repeat Step 8.

You will probably be exhausted after this but guess what you have successfuly installed windows xp and osx after ubuntu.

Hurray,

Have Fun!
