Default Dual Boot Snow Leopard/Windows XP Home Edition - 03-28-2010, 05:34 PM

Hi, guys I've reading a lot about dual booting and want to install Windows XP Home Edition. I have troubles installing Windows XP from the USB, as it seems it's not possible to do it from USB sitck if your hard drive haves several partitions. Besides when I run NBI to install Chameleon and restart my computer to be sure that Chameleon got installed properly there's no boot screen. Thanks in advance.

I fanlly managed to do my dual boot with out any problem and it took about one hour setting up both OS. No need to run the diskpart. Just NBI from de install USB. It was a pretty easy I used WinSetupFromUSB. Changed a few seeting.

1. First I format it to NTFS for more speed and added Windows XP boot files.
2 On the the settings for Windows will get installed in partition, I typed the number of the partition I had chosen after partitioning my HDD.
3. Installed Leopard selecting GUID partition table.
4. Then Windows
5. And ran NBI to install Chameleon!
