Hardware is a Macbook Pro 15" 2. In addition to that I want to have two data partitions, the main one for Mac use, the little one to be used by both OS to simply share data. To begin with I tried to make it simple, with three partitions. I followed all the steps above, but from step 7 onwards it does not play ball.
Of course step 7 complains as described with "if you do that, bootcamp will fail" and I expected that. There is only the symbol for the Mac option there! So I don't even get to the bluescreen, it simply does not acknowledge any other installs.
I installed both rEFIt and bootpicker not at the same time of course and rEFIt did tell em that the partition table looked a bit wrong and fixed it. But then I'd not be able to install OS X again off the disk.
Overall while I admire the ease of use of Disk Utilities, it is infuriating how it insists on re-allocating space in your partitioning all the time. I ahve not found how to make sure that the bootcamp partition does not end up at the bottom i.
Is there a better partitioning tool available which is known to work well with OSX? Given that it is based in Linux, it is a bit sad to see the partitioning so crippled Any hints for partitioning my disk to enable my scheme would be massively appreciated! Thank you! Need Help!! I tried the steps and it was going fine. Booted up from the windows cd and did the inital setup blue screen mode. After this is when i had the problem. Anyone had this problem?
Im guessing maybe because os x partition is the 1st on the drive is whats causing problems. If the windows partition was the first one it would work? But that defeats my purpose of being able to install without formatting anything ie. Followed some of the steps here and it works!
On Vista at least. How to: - erase all other partitions other than Machintosh HD. Other than that it's running great. Will add a new Leopard partition to see if it still works! This was done on 3. It only took me three tries the third after I learned of the XP limitation ; I hope this helps others do better! I tried the procedure given but I did not get success. The only thing I changed as hinted in the last post is that I used the 'upper' or the 'middle' or the 'third' partition and not the 'last' one.
Now I am going to try the 11 steps exactly as stated. But please somebody provide me suitable procedure for the following: I want to have 4 partitions in my only GB hard disk.
Also when I am running my iMac 20" C2D, 2. In fact all the 4 partitions would be viewable from Mac OS and even readable. I also observe that 'iPartition', etc. I wish to create the 4 partitions with the existing Mac OS X intact and preferably without third party software. Please somebody help. On erasing and creating the third partition for 'data', XP stops working with 'hal. If 3rd data partition is again deleted and reverted as 'free space', XP returns back. Finally in desperation, I created extended partition and logical drive of 'unallocated space' from XP's disk management.
On restarting now, the computer neither boots in Mac nor in XP. Every time I have to press option button and go to Mac OS. Machine no more boots in XP now in any manner. I am tired now. I am desperate for a proper solution. I also observed the following w. I start in Mac OS X using 'option' at start. I confirm in 'disk utility' that the data partition I made in Windows is still shown as 'free space'. So I just delete it again. Now the Windows starts working without the error of 'hal. There is another observation.
The partition of unused space seemed to have got done but this rather 'suspicious' message too was there. Editing the boot. In my case ' Please help. I have read all the above posts with their 3 partition set up for windows and mac.
My question is this. And If I wanted to shoot for the moon, have a mac bootable partition for Snow Leopard when it comes out. So that's potentially 5 bootable partitions. I am not an under the hoot terminal guru, but more of a how to solve this or that type of problem in terms of using the os's themselves.
Any help would be most helpful. Here are my MBP's spec's MBP Intel 2. Thanks for any help anyone can provide. After trying some of the other comments, I found a very easy way to accomplish this: 1. Run Boot Camp assistant and install Windows 7 as per the installation and setup guide.
Upon downloading it, you are directed to create a bootable CD. Then all disks are fully accessible to both operating systems. I also suggest immediately making sure Time Machine has a fresh backup, and getting WinClone to make an image of the Windows partition, as a further backup. If there is any problem, you can delete the Windows partition, recreate it, and restore it from WinClone.
Lost your password? Powered by the Parse. I thought I'd share the details of how I successfully managed a "non-standard" installation of Boot Camp in Basically, I wanted three partitions on my startup drive: System, Users and Windows.
I don't want a debate on the merits of partitioning; it works for me, and the one time I didn't do it, I lost a ton of stuff due to So, Boot Camp Assistant will not allow this. Full credit for the workaround goes to AxL over at Apple Discussions.
I just tweaked the original a bit, and included some additional details. Read on Assuming you're all backed up, and ready to wipe your disk, here's how to do this: Start up from the Leopard CD Don't go in to the Installer when it appears, instead launch Disk Utility from the menu bar. You can now install Leopard, ideally on the first top partition, and set that up how you like. When you're ready to install Windows, simply insert your Windows Install disk, and reboot holding down "C" key.
You should then start to see the slick old-school text of the Windows installer sliding down your lovely screen. Eventually, you will be prompted to select a disk; your Windows partition will helpfully be the only one with FAT32 written alongside it.
The first time around, I chose to proceed without any further formatting of the partition, but the install crashed after a few minutes, and my machine restarted in Leopard. The glaring visual disparity between the Leopard install process and the XP one, seen in quick succession, is quite something.
Eventually, you will see the rolling green hills of Windows, at which point insert your Leopard Install Disc, and "setup. That's it, you're almost done. This Apple Knowledge Base article , about using only character passkeys across multiple platforms, solved that.
