Dual Boot OSX Tiger 10.4.8 and OSX Tiger 10.4.8 Server

I would like to know how I could have 1 hard drive with 2 Volumes. One running Tiger and one running Tiger Server. I would like to use it to test my applications to make sure that what I'm developing in Tiger will also work find in Server.
Is this possible? And how would I choose between the two?
Also similar topic, but if I was to become ADC and get Leopard would I would be able to dual boot 10.4.8 Tiger, 10.5 Leopard and 10.4.8 Tiger Server on the same hard drive with three different Volumes?

I'm not familiar with the Tiger Server software/requirements but you can certainly partition the hard drive into two partitions each with a boot volume.
To choose between the two, you can make use of the Startup Manager to choose the startup or boot volume when starting up or restarting the computer.

Again not sure about the Tiger Server software but definitely with Leopard and Tiger.

Dual boot OSX - 10.9 & 10.6

Hi everyone,
I'm fighting with this for days, and the 3 beeps are making me mad so I hope someone can help..
The story:
I have a refurbished early 2011 MBP, it came with Snow Leopard (10.6) installed. I upgraded to Mavericks 10.9 but now I need to work with apps that don't run in Mavericks but only in 10.6 (updating the apps is too expensive, and the virtual machine solution does not satisfy me).
I'm trying to make a dual boot system with both (10.6 and 10.9) OSX installed, but the three beeps are stopping me every time I try to work with 10.6.
I made a backup, formatted the drive (Mac Os extended Journaled), and made 2 partitions.
I have my original 10.6 installation disk, and my 10.9 mounted in my external usb drive.
I tried to install 10.6 first, but the three beeps sounded.
I tried to install 10.9 first, and 10.6 later, but the three beeps sounded again.
I tried to install 10.6 using another MB (with 10.6 on it) and my MBP booted in Target disk mode, the installation went good, but when I try to boot my MPB selecting the 10.6 partition the three beeps sounds again.
I also tried to install only 10.6 in a single partition using the last method.. still the three mind shaking beeeps.
At this moment I have 2 partitions, with the 2 OSX installed, but only 10.9 is able to boot.
I know my MPB can work with 10.6 (it came from the store with it), but I can't figure out how to make it run again. Can anyone help me?
Is it possible to make the dual boot 10.6 + 10.9 system?
If so, how?
thanks in advance,
Federico

I formatted the drive, so it's completely clean and partitions are 255Gigs each...
How did you achieved your setup?
That should be working then. I simply added a second partition by clicking the + button, according to Pondini's instructions in that link I gave you.
Are you restarting into the startup manager (boot picker)? Unless it's USB 3.0, a USB external will be extremely slow.
What is Disk Utility showing when you select the partition tab? Do you see both volumes?

Dual boot OSX and 9.2, how to switch back to OSX?

Hi Guys,
I am brand new to Mac. I was given this iMac Power Mac 750 600Mhz with 256MB memory and a 80G hard drive. When I got it, it boots to OS X and I don't know what I did (maybe because I plugged in a USB hard drive) but it started to boot to OS 9.2 now, and I don't know how to switch back to OS X.
I remember, when I plugged in the USB flash key, it was running OS X, and it asked me to hold on the power button for several seconds to reboot, I followed that, and it boots to 9.2 ever since.
How do I make it boot to OSX?
Thanks!

Dual boot ing pre-installed Windows 8 and windows 7?

Hi there
I have a lenovo G505s that came with windows 8 and would like to download windows 7 and have them dual boot for gaming purposes so I was wondering I could get any advise on the matter.

Welcome to the forum!
With Windows, generally you have to install the older version first then the newer with dual booting. Since you already have Windows 8 installed that might be a problem. Also resizing the partitions on your hard drive to make room will disable the option to use One Key Recovery at boot up. If the machine is still under warranty, you might wait till the warranty expires before re-arranging things. Also prior to installing Windows 7, make sure there are drivers available for your system's hardware.

● Lenovo Ideapad Z570 w/ Win 7 & Win 8.1 Dual Boot ● Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro w/ Windows 8.1 ● Toshiba A75-S206 w/ Win 7

How to implement a dual booting PXI system using windows 7 and labview RT

Good Day
My name is Mariano Ocana from the University of Manitoba, and I want to implement a dual system using windows 7 and labview RT in a PXIe-1082 chassis with a PXIe-8102 embedded controlled (the chassis came with windows 7 installed). What are the steps to use both systems (windows and RT) in the same chassis?, in the NI help comes an example implementing a dual system using windows xp and RT, it is the same procedure?.
Thank you in advance for all your help.
Regards
M. Ocana

Greetings, Mariano.
The real issue you have to contend with is whether or not you have a LabVIEW RT license. If the 8102 controller was purchased Windows-Only, you likely do not have a license to run LabVIEW RT on the controller - you can purchase one, I think it's about $500, and at that point you can request a LabVIEW RT Configuration CD (that's not what it's called, but the sales guy will know what I'm talking about). The Config CD is a CD that will partition your controller correctly with both FAT32 and NTFS filesystems (in the appropriate way) to allow you to run Windows 7 and LabVIEW Real-Time on the controller correctly. Once done, you can then switch within the BIOS between LabVIEW Real-Time and Windows in order to dual-boot.
Either way, you likely need to contact NI sales to either purchase an RT license (if one was not received at the time of purchase) or to request a Configuration CD (it might also be called a dual-boot install CD or similar).

I'm looking for the drivers to dual boot OS X 10.8.1 and Windows 7.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for the drivers that are needed once you install windows. I've got to dual boot due to school. But, I don't ever remember getting a CD or anything with my mac and was hopping I could download them and burn them to a DVD

No, you don't need to install a software update for Lion if you are now running Mountain Lion.

What are the Boot OSX HDs Appearing on my Server Desktop?

Hi,
When I login to my server (either via Screen Share or via the actual MacPro it is hosted on) I sometimes get four HDs appear on the desktop. They're all called Boot OSX and two are empty and two have com.apple.boot.S and System folders/files in them.
This happens on all local accounts on the MacPro, irrespective of them being OD accounts as well or not.
This doesn't happen all the time. It seems to appear just after I've used an account I've setup on the OD, the server's MacPro and my client iMac. This account is locked down as a simple finder with very little capabilities (so a designated person can log onto the server and eject the backup disk without going off-piste).
The only oddity I can think of about this account is that I messed about with creating a home account when setting it up in the WG Manager. Also the strictions I've put on it work when you log in from a client however when logged in from the MacPro the restrictions are in place but the simple finder and dock management doesn't seem to be reflected.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Frank.

UPDATE:
I have four accounts on my MacPro (which hosts the server). Server/Local/Basic Administrator and Dummy Acc (SA, LA, BA and DA respectively). Only SA and DA are in the OD (as per standard server setup assistant); LA and BA are on the local account of the computer, not the server's OD.
When I login with and of the SA, LA or BA users locally, or SA remotely evrything appears as it should. It is only when I log in with DA, which is fully managed within WGM (Finder, Dock, Apps), that I get odd behaviour.
DA behaves as expected on client Macs but the Dock management settings, at least, don't appear to work when logged in on the local server machine.
Once I have logged in as DA on any machine (and then logged out or not) and then log in with any of the Administrator accounts I get this Boot OSX harddrives appearing, as previously described.
The Boot HDs then seem to no l;onger appear after some unspecified period of time with the server logged out of by all accounts.
None of this affects the performance (as much as I can tell).
Any thoughts? Is the Boot OSX some NetBoot type thing (which I haven't touched). Why is this behaviour associated with this dumb account?
Many thanks,
Francis.

Is it possible to dual boot OSX/Linux.

I have a Early 2011 Macbook Pro 13-inch. 2.7 Ghz i7. 8GB RAM. Intel HD 3000 512mb.
Also if you can is there any detailed/in-depth tutorials out there?
BTW I'm running Mountain Lion.

First of all, what Linux distribution do you want to install? The easiest and the most recommended is Ubuntu, that has got a lot of information about how to install it on Macs. See this website to check what Ubuntu version you can use > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro
To install Ubuntu, see > http://tech-devnet.blogspot.de/2012/05/running-ubuntu-1204-on-mac.html

G4 MDD FW800 Dual Boot Tiger and Leopard

I have a Power Mac G4 1.25 Dual MDD FW800 currently running Tiger 10.4.9. I would like to install Leopard on a partition or a second hard drive so I can dual boot between Tiger and Leopard. Will the FW800 model allow this without eliminating Tiger or creating any issues with using Tiger? I recall reading somewhere that the MDD FW800 could not run Jaguar and Tiger concurrently but I don't know if this is true? Anyone running this Tiger-Leopard dual boot setup?
Thanks Della

Your MDD's are FW800 also?
What you are asking doesn't matter.
ALL G4 machines, including ALL MDD machines, including the FW800 CAN maintain two or more OS versions (such as Tiger and Leopard) and CAN boot back and forth between the versions.
Any G4 that I have ever had, Sawtooth to MDD/FW800 has run two, three and four OS versions.
I currently have OS9, Panther, Tiger and Leopard installed on this machine.
Another source had told me that the FW800 MDD could not boot back to a previous version OS once a newer version OS had been installed ie once Leopard was installed you could not boot from Tiger again from another startup disk?
Your source is incorrect, and is telling you contrary to all the content of the entire internet regarding the topic.
The FW800 cannot boot to OS 9 (any version) nor can it boot to OS X earlier than 10.2.3.
As with ANY G4, it cannot run OS X Snow Leopard (10.6).
Those are the ONLY limitations.
ALL other OS versions after OS X 10.2.3, in any number of combinations, may be present as boot volumes on the machine.
If you had 4 drives with 3 OS versions each, as long as the version was within the machines compatibility, it would be fine and boot would be supported.

Will upgrading to OSX Mountain Lion erase my rEFIT dual boot Windows?

Hi All,
At the suggestion of one of the users in a different section of the forum, I am posting my question here in hopes of finding someone who might have already done this upgrade and can speak from experience.
I have a MacBook Air that is currently setup to dual-boot OSX Lion or Windows 7 with Boot Camp. The Windows 7 was a requirement in order to be able to use my laptop for work. I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion but I also don't want to erase the partitioning on the hard-drive and I want to keep my Windows 7 installation intact. If I choose to upgrade (instead of a clean install) will this delete the Windows partition and wipe out my disk or will it retain my dual-boot option as it currently is?
Thanks for your help.

Then wait on update, and plan to (goes without saying hopefully) to have backups of both that you can always restore. Especially as this is a work computer in essence.
Lion had trouble until 10.7.1 and the Lion 4.0 Windows Support Software itself was buggy for those that were installing Windows (or upgrade their boot camp drivers with Lion's).
Until people look at the Lion Recovery partition and whether that changed in size or something, or other changes to the partition tables.
WinClone 3 and CampTune can both help preserve your installation and Carbon Copy Cloner to make bootable backup of Lion and Lion Recovery, in addition to TimeMachine. (TimeMachine has been improved and more flexible).
And store your ML install package somewhere - given how slow it is DL'ing I'd wait days to even bother.

SYSTEM RECOVERY (F11) is inaccessible after dual-booting Windows 7 and Windows 8.

I dual booted Windows 8 with Windows 7 and now the RECOVERY partition (F is not loading upon pressing F11. It gives me the boot configuration data error. I have it marked as Healthy (Primary Partition) and I am able to access the files via. My Computer in both OS, but not through F11 System Recovery.
The bcdedit log is here: http://pastebin.com/b0Y5Hd1F
My partition letters:
C: Windows 7
D: Windows 8
F: RECOVERY
H: SYSTEM
In Visual BCD, One WRE is set to D: and the other is set to F:. Should i set both to F, which is the actual RECOVERY partition?
[2] The UEFI boot setup is unable to create HP_TOOLS parition because 4 partitions already exist. I don't remember having the SYSTEM partition earlier so maybe that repalced HP_TOOLS?
[3] When I try to create a recovey media, the orange circle filter keeps of going even after I have inserted the an external USB hard drive for it to detect. Does it usually take this long? I am guessing once the recovery media is made I could do system repair from there and get RECOVERY to work?

What is the p/n? Remove the battery and look for it. Post all alphanumeric characters.
CTO means configure to order. That means only you and HP know the notebook's configuration.
The problem you are going to run into is that there is a maximum of four primary partitions allowed by Windows. That is by design. It appears that you removed the HP_TOOLS partition, which was a requisite for the UEFI diagnostics.
Frankly it looks like what you will have to do is put the UEFI environment on a USB stick.
I would create the recovery media on a high quality 16GB USB drive.
The partition schema must be as follows:
1) C: (NTFS)
2) HP_Tools F: (must be FAT32)
3) RECOVERY D: (NTFS)
4) SYSTEM (NTFS) created by the Windows install process
I am not aware of a dual-boot or more schema that allows a UEFI environment with the Recovery Manager accessible from F11. I wish I had better news for you. Perhaps our forum Provost DavidPK knows how it can be done.
I do recommend that you copy the RECOVERY partition to an external disk for safety sake.
If you are able to boot into the recovery manager I strongly suggest that you create your recovery media. If you do not do that you will not have a copy of your operating system and drivers for a plan B. I did not go with the option you used and did not create problems to deal with later.
When I play around with my loaner notebook and configure it to dual/triple boot, I always install a different hard disk and put the original one aside. You can still return your system to its original configuration and then take the hard disk out and use another one to play with. I believe that would be the wisest path to follow.

Dual boot machine- snow leopard and Lion

It appears I will need to set up one of my machines as dual boot, containing partitions for Snow Leopard and Lion. The reason is that Quicken is NOT compatible with Lion, and will apparently never be. Intuits "solutions" are to go to other, far less capable software, or not upgrade. Which, of course means, NEVER upgrade again.
So, I think my best solution is to set up a partition for snow leopard and one for Lion. How do I go about this? Size of partition. How to partition? Which boot disks do I use to do this?
Any help is much appreciated.

Ok, I just got done doing this yesterday so I can lay it out for you.
1: Copy all your user files to a regular external drive and disconnect.
2: Carbon Copy Cloner your 10.6.8 setup to another blank HFS+Journaled external drive and disconnect.
3: Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk and erase your entire boot drive in Disk Utility (under the Utilities menu) format HFS+Journaled (default) of course.
4: Quit and install 10.6. Setup with the same user name as Snow. Run the 10.6.8 Combo Update. Then Software Update.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
5: Use the MacAppStore to download Lion, BUT DO NOT INSTALL yet! Cancel it and click on the Installer and select "Show in Finder" follow these instructions to make boot DVD's and dmg images of Lion installer.
http://www.eggfreckles.net/tech/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/
6: Once you do that, then Install Lion. On a pristine 10.6.8 with no third party programs or other BS it should go perfectly. Check it out that it's stable just in case or else hold command r and boot into the Recovery Partition and redownload/install again.
7: Once that's done and Software Updated, run Bootcamp and create a Windows partition larger than your 10.6.8 clone naturally. The size is up to you to decide. Cancel the Bootcamp when the partition is created.
8: Hold Option and boot off the 10.6.8 clone with all your stuff and programs, use Disk Utility to change the "BOOTCAMP" partition to "Snow Leopard" and make it a HFS+ Journaled partition from the MSDOS format (not the whole drive now or you'll lose Lion and the Recovery Partition) If this doesn't work then use Disk Utility c booted from the 10.7 DVD or command r from the Lion Recovery Partition and use Disk Utility there.
9: Once that's done, Option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and Carbon Copy Clone 10.6.8 onto the Snow Leopard partition.
Walla, a dual boot system with all your stuff intact. Just hold option upon boot and/or use the Startup Disk in System Preferences to set a default.
I'm currently working on a quad boot system now. It's got Lion, Snow, Linux and will have Windows too. A lot more complicated than simply Snow and Lion.
Note: OS X Lion reguires a internet connection to install, even from a boot DVD.
Enjoy.

Dual boot Linux and XP on Lenovo 3000 J205

I have a 3000 j205 (I think. It says 9686-A12 on the tag) and a friend of mine set it up for dual boot with Suse which works well and XP which can't access the internet. I called customer support and was told that since my mother bought the machine (she died a year ago of Cancer) that they could only talk to her. It's a Vista box that never worked right for her (she gave up after 3 months of trying to get it working, tech support coming out and even my brother and kids trying to make it work longer than 20 minutes on the net) I figured out that the drivers for XP to run the network card are missing. It even sees the wireless router in the line and the Comcast cable modem, but it still swears the internet isn't out there. Any ideas? The original Vista had the same problem trying to access the net.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I tried downloading the Ethernet drivers on the Linux side, but couldn't get it to cross to the XP side (like I said, I'm a newbie) What I did figure out on my own was to get a Netgear wireless transponder, which allowed XP to access the net and download all the XP updates to SP3 (84 plus!) then it autosearched the drivers needed and voila! It's now on the net!

Powering & dual booting a new 23" ADC with a g4 dual 450 AGP

Hello,
I have a dual G4 450, with an upgraded ATI 9000 pro card (64mb) with DVI.
I dual boot OSX & 9.2.2.
Will my setup allow me to drive a new Apple 23" ADC in both operating systems problem free?
Will OS 9.2.2 restrict any needed functions for the display to operate fully while in 9.2.2?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi
If it's a dual 450MHz (with the original processors) it's probably a Gigabit Ethernet G4 rather than an AGP G4, so should support a graphics card with an Apple Display Connector.
The older style 23" Cinema display (with a clear acrylic enclosure and three legs) uses an Apple Display Connector. The newer style 23" Cinema display (with an aluminium enclosure and single foot) uses a DVI connector. Both should work with a Radeon 9000 in a Gigabit Ethernet G4 without the need for any adapters, as the card comes with ADC and DVI ports and drives digital flat panels upto 1920x1200.
I'd double check but I think the monitor should work under OS 9, although some of the buttons may not work as expected. The following article refers to the 20" Cinema display although I expect it's also applicable to the 23" display:
