That works fine, provided you give the Tiger partition at least 30% free space.
I repartitioned my disk (160GB on MBP) to allow Tiger (80GB) and Leopard (77GB) sit side by side, so the former Tiger partition was shrunk using Disk Utility from Leopard Install DVD and Leopard installed on the second partition. Very interesting, but at which point did you create the third partition ? And then it's just the small matter of 86 patches (as of now, 63MB) required to bring XP SP2 up-to-date. This Apple Knowledge Base article, about using only 13-character passkeys across multiple platforms, solved that. I had problems connecting XP to my WEP-128bit network.
(The glaring visual disparity between the Leopard install process and the XP one, seen in quick succession, is quite something).
Read on.Īssuming you're all backed up, and ready to wipe your disk, here's how to do this: I just tweaked the original a bit, and included some additional details.
Full credit for the workaround goes to AxL over at Apple Discussions. So, Boot Camp Assistant will not allow this. (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 10.1 weirdness). Basically, I wanted three partitions on my startup drive: System, Users and Windows.
Recommend me any software (they are most of all trial, so I can use them if they are available).I thought I'd share the details of how I successfully managed a "non-standard" installation of Boot Camp in 10.5. I have a dual boot machine: SL and WiN7, so I could boot from win in order resize the hfs+ partitions if it is possible. Thank you for your help! I don't want my data to be lost and I am a noob in terminal commands. It seems that Tony's cd is only for booting in snow leopard, if I'm not wrong.ĭo you have any solution to resize my hfs+ partitions? I don't want to copy all the information again on another HDD and reinstall, it would take an eternity. I tried 2 boot cds (Tony's one and Praxy's one- EmpireEFI) and after the context menu, i changed them with the colioris cd, but it didn't boot. I can not boot with Colioris Boot CD, because I use a hackintosh not a mac. and they recommend iPartition and CoriolisCdMaker for doing this job, but this is the problem. It doesn't let me (I can only create a new partition in the free space which remains when I shrink the #1 partition, but I don't want to).
I turned out that I didn't need all that space! So I tried to use disk utility to resize partition #1 (to make it smaller) and to enlarge the 2nd one. Initially I made a large snowleopard partition in order to install a lot of apps. I have 2 partitions: #1 SnowLeopard #2 DataMac. I want to resize my hackintosh's partitions.
