It all started when I was finally able to successfully boot between Windows Vista and Mac OS X.
Whenever I logged out of Mac OS X, my main BIOS would move the time four hours back. That would also cause my time in Windows Vista to move four hours back as well although “Time Synchronization” was on.
Pcwiz has recently released Leo4VMware, a version of Apple’s Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2, which has been modified to work flawlessly with VMware on Windows XP or Vista.
It’s not just a VMware disk image, it also contains the configuration files and everything one needs to boot right out of the box.
Installation Instructions:
Once you have unzipped the product, there will be a folder called Mac OS X Leopard. Launch VMware and open an existing virtual machine - then go into the unzipped Mac OS X Leopard Folder and select the FreeBSD 64 bit config file.
Many forums claimed that it’s not possible to add a GUID/OSX86-Partition to the Windows Bootloader.
This post is dedicated to prove the opposite.
Ofcourse the operating systems have to be on seperated devices, because of the different partition schemes (Windows = MBR, OSX86 = MBR or GUID - in this case GUID).
But I found a way to add a OSX86-Partition on a GUID-Scheme to the Windows Bootloader.
If you don’t know whether your OSx86 is installed on a MBR or on a GUID scheme, just launch the Disk Utility in Utilities and look at the details of your Harddrive. If it’s MBR (Master Boot Record), you just need to add the chain0 file to your Windows’ root and add it to your boot.ini.
There seem to be a lot of people asking how to Dual Boot Windows Vista and Mac OS X Leopard.
Warning: For this procedure you need to start all over again, because reinstalling Windows Vista and Mac OS X Leopard will be required. Using an external drive to backup all of your files before starting with this guide is highly recommended. Once you are ready, read on.
