Triple boot with XP and 7

I know that this isn't technically Boot Camp, since I'll be using rEFIt for my boot loader, but I'm hoping somebody in here can help me.
I carved out 3 partitions using diskutil and formatted 2 of them FAT so I could load windows on them. I got rEFIt installed and it is working fine. I installed XP on the last partition (because I read that Windows needed to be on the last one and was hoping 7 was smarter) and verified that it was bootable. REFIt was working fine on it. I installed 7 on the middle partition, but when I choose to boot to that partition from rEFIt it says it can't find NTLDR. The interesting part is that if I pick the last partition for XP, the boot NTLDR shows up and I can select with Windows 7 or the previous version of windows.
What I want to do is get the boot loader for 7 fixed to point to the right partition for NTLDR so that I can use rEFIt to choose my OS. I know that I could just boot to the XP loader and then choose 7, but it isn't a pretty.
Thanks for any input or advice.

Hi KWarp,
here a guide on how-to triple boot OSX, XP and Vista http://guides.macrumors.com/Triple_Boot
Replacing Vista with Windows 7 should be no difference.
To my knowledge Windows can not be booted from an external harddisk and I don't think that Microsoft has changed that with Windows 7 (although I like to be wrong on that ).
Intel-Macs don't have a BIOS but use its successor EFI.
Tools for 'fumbling' with EFI are restricted to Apple Technicians.

Triple boot with XP, &, and 10

I currently dual boot xp.pro 7.pro from same SSD. I have 10 on a different disk and have to change boot drives in BIOS when wanting to use 10. What I'd like to do is put them all on separate disks and choose at startup. XP on HDD, 7 on SSD
and 10 on HDD. Any suggestions on what would need to be done?

How can I triple boot with OSX, Windows XP, and Windows 7 RC?

Here's the short story:
I have OS X 10.5 and Windows XP on an internal drive.
My goal is to install the Windows 7 RC on a bootable external drive connected through eSATA
Currently:
I used Winclone to copy my XP partition (with a different-looking desktop) onto the external drive to test if I could boot from it. Seems the EFI boot sequence recognizes the external copy in any case. Picture here: [http://img171.imageshack.us/i/library5991.jpg> (ignore the backup hard drive)
When I select the Windows icon on the left, it boots the internal drive partition. However, when I select the icon on the right, it also boots the internal partition.
Is there any way I can manipulate the BIOS emulation to chose between the two drives? Would clearing the internal Windows partition let it default to the external one? Would just installing Windows 7 RC resolve the issue?

I currently run Mac Pro with three hard drives. Can I dual boot or even triple boot with Snow Leaopard on one drive and Mountain Lion or Lion on others?

I currently run Mac Pro with three hard drives. Can I dual boot or even triple boot with Snow Leopard on one drive and Mountain Lion or Lion on others?
I need to keep Snow Leopard so that I can run some old softward.

If you are careful you can put at least two on one drive, having Recovery from Lion and Mountain Lion on their own drives though.
CCC can clone Lion Recovery - great for moving or backup.

Tutorial - How to triple boot OSX, Linux and Windows 8.1 with a shared Data Partition without any third party Win / OSX softwares

This is not a question, but rather a personal guide that has proved to be running successfully.
I would like to thank numerous sources, including Christopher Murphy's suggestions at:
Re: Repairing Boot Camp after creating new partition
Before proceeding, there are certain concepts needs to know:
Why Boot Camp does NOT allow further partitioning of drives after Windows has installed?
Answer: Because the way Apple configures the Mac to be recognized as non UEFI capable system on Windows.
Quote from Christopher Murphy based on the above line:
However, Windows on Macs right now use CSM-BIOS mode in Mac firmware that presents BIOS to Windows rather than EFI. Windows thinks it's on a BIOS computer, and therefore mandates the use of MBR for boot disks, rather than GPT. So that's why we have this hybrid MBR+GPT approach on Mac with Windows on it. You inherit the limitations of MBR, which is four primary partitions.
So what does it means?
It means that OSX + EFI + Recovery HD + Boot Camp partition = 4 primary partitions and thus any attempt to modify the disk will render booting issues of either system.
For more info on GPT (GUID Partition Table disks VS Master Boot Record or MBR in short, you may visit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn640535%28v=vs.85%29.a spx)
So, how to overcome it?
The general guideline is to install ALL GPT ready OS first then create a Data partition, before installing Windows (Which is again, NOT supported GPT due to EFI configuration by Apple where end-users are not able to modify it).
Interestingly, since Mac Pro 2013 Late supports only Windows 8 and above, thus it is not known if this CSM-BIOS applies to it or not.
Do take note that GPT disks in Windows can only be booted when the system meets the 2 requirements:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn640535%28v=vs.85%29.a spx#gpt_faq_win7_boot
1) Windows x64 version (Which is a must for newer Macs. If you cannot go to Boot Camp 5, then you need Windows 7 x86 or 32bit version)
2) UEFI system. However, Windows sees all Macs (With the possibility of Mac Pro 2013 Late is an exception. To be determined) as BIOS, or rather NON-UEFI system.
In short, booting on GPT disks is not possible for Mac in Windows.
Summary,
It is tested that a combination of the following will not work:
- OSX + Windows + Linux
- Windows + OSX + Linux
- Windows + Linux + OSX
Usually it can create the system un-bootable or OSX refused to install due to the system does not recognize such partitions and / or Disk Utility refused to format a free space. An example screen-shot is provided below:
The error message is shown as
Title: "Failed to erase volume" Message: "Failed to wipe volume, as an error occurred: MediaKit has reported that the device does not have enough free space to execute the requested operations."
The second thing is about the preparations we need.
1) 1X Windows 7 or 8 DVD or USB thumbdrive
1A) If you uses a DVD to install, you will need another thumbdrive to load the BootCamp drivers for Windows as well as may requires an external DVD drive for newer Macs
2) 1X Linux DVD of your choice. Personally I choose Fedora 20.
So ready? Let's go.
1. Using Disk Utility, shrink the OSX's partition size to what is needed. For me, I give OSX 150GB. Do NOT create any new partition.
Disk Utility should see something like below whereby only OSX partition is left with desired disk space. The remaining space are to be unused disk space for the moment.
Note: Click on the top most item that should start with the size of your HDD / SSD. Then clicked on "Partition" and specify the desired OSX size. Hit "Apply" after that.
2: Download Boot Camp drivers only via Boot Camp Assistant. The USB thumbdrive shall be used later after Linux's installation.
Boot Camp Assistant should see this:
I have only selected "Download latest Windows Support Files from Apple"
3. Insert Linux DVD, reboot Mac into EFI mode (The left most first "EFI mode").
Note 1: Before rebooting, please plugged in an Ethernet adapter because Wi-Fi drivers is not installed.
Note 2: For Thunderbolt adapters, it must be plugged in before reboot as hot-swapping is not supported under Linux. More on the tips at the end of this article.
Note 3: Press and hold "Option" after the screen turns black. Release Option key after you see the image as below:

For the unfortunate part that did not make it on time to edit the images:
9. Install the Windows Support software from your CD/USB drive to gain full functionality of your computer. Reboot and go to Windows again.
Note 1: You may choose to eject disc at this point of time. For Apple SuperDrive users, you will need to wait until the drivers (i.e. Boot Camp support files) is installed and rebooted before ejecting is reasonably possible (As I failed to figured out how to right click without the drivers)
Note 2: Unlike Windows 7 on KBase article TS4599 Keyboard/trackpad inoperative, black screen, or alert messages when installing Windows 7, USB stick can be plugged in after the Windows installation is done. This is because Windows 7 (And probably Windows 7 with SP1 DVD) does not have a built in USB 3 drivers when it was released back in 2009 where USB3 has not arrived then.
Note 3: Due to TPM, Bitlocker is not supported without the use of thumbdrives.
10. Using Disk Management to determine the given drive letter for the DATA partition (DO NOT DELETE and RECREATE partition or else you can goodbye to booting Linux and OSX). Disk Management will not allow you to format it as exFAT / FAT32 in graphical way.
Note: You may remove or modify some of the disk letters in Disk Management. However, do NOT remove / modfify the drive letter for the partition with 200MB size in HFS. This is because it will disallow booting of Linux and neither could Windows nor OSX can do anything EXCEPT to reinstall Linux only.
11. Open Command Prompt in Administrator Mode (Important!!), and key in the following command:
format F: /FS:exFAT
Give this volume a label after it has successfully formatted before hitting "Enter" again.
Note: Mine Data partition was assigned as F drive. Please make necessary adjustment to "F:" should your Data partition is assigned to other letters.
12. After that, Setup your Data partition structure as you like.
Tip: Minimally create the important folders such as:
- Music
- Documents
- Movie (Videos)
- Downloads
- Pictures
All these folders are commonly used by the 3 OSes. I do NOT recommend changing of /home (OSX and / or Linux) and / or user home directory (Windows) either partially or as a whole.
This is because of compatibility issue.
On a side note, iTunes Media Library used in OSX and Windows are NOT able to be use interchangably due to hard-coded path used.
13. Useful troubleshooting in Fedora / Linux:
With references to these:
http://chaidarun.com/fedora-mbp
http://anderson.the-silvas.com/2014/02/14/fedora-20-on-a-macbook-pro-13-late-201 3-retina-display/
http://unencumberedbyfacts.com/2013/08/16/linux-on-a-macbook-pro-101/
I would like to highlight a few important points:
1) Wi-Fi driver:
http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
Note 1: The sound driver should be installed at Out of Box Experience. However, the Wi-Fi is not.
Note 2: Install both free and non-free repository. By the way, some other software like VLC can only be found after the Free Repository is installed.
Search for "akmod-wl" in Gnome-Package-Installer in order to install Wi-Fi drivers
Note 3: For those who do not have Ethernet adapters and their Mac does NOT have a built-in Ethernet port, it is recommended to get one. This is because Fedora 20 does not have a good support for iPhone USB tethering. Unsure for Andriod / Blackberry / Windows Phone users.
2) Grub Menu:
It will show several options to boot into OSX, even of the capability to boot into x86 or x64 mode. However, neither of them is bootable except Linux and the rescue.
Hence, it is recommended to remove the items by hand in this file:
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
Command to be used:
"sudo gedit /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg"
Parts to be removed:
- For any extra kernels, delete the target entry by locating the line "menuentry" under "/etc/grub.d/10_linux" sector to one line above the next "menuentry".
It is recommended to keep one main kernel, and one recovery at the minimal.
- For other OS, delete all the entry (Since neither it can works) under "/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober" sector without removing the lines starts with ###.
Auto Mount exFAT partition:
- After installing extra packages for exFAT support (Since it is not supported by Fedora 20 from a default installation), you may wish to edit "/etc/fstab" in order to mount the exFAT partition during boot time.
Command to be used:
"sudo gedit /etc/fstab"
Add the following line in gedit:
UUID=702D-912D /run/media/Samuel/DATA exfat defaults 1 2
Note 1: For DATA partition, OSX & Boot Camp partition, Fedora defaults mounts under: "/run/medua/<Username with case sensitive>/<Partition Label Name>"
Note 2: UUID is unique ID. You can find out the UUID by:
Step 1: First determine the DATA partition number:
"sudo gdisk /dev/sda"
Step 2: Determine the UUID of this partition number:
"sudo blkid /dev/sda8"
Reference 1: http://manpages.courier-mta.org/htmlman5/fstab.5.html
Reference 2: http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2007/10/15/short-tip-get-uuid-of-hard-disks/
3) Overheating CPU
Solution is to issue the following command in Linux terminal: su -c "echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo"
4) System resumes immediately after suspend
Solution is to issue the following command in Linux terminal: su -c "echo XHC1 > /proc/acpi/wakeup"
5) What does not works well out of box:
- Both GNOME and KDE's fonts are too small to be readable for out of box experience. Additional configuration is a need. (Some of the info can be found on "More Tips" later)
- Thunderbolt hotplugging is NOT supported under Windows and Linux so far. Neither FaceTime HD camera works as well.
- The red light in Headphone jack is always on. I do not have luck in switching off the light without losing the sound.
Note 1: It is determined that the module "snd_hda_intel" is used by both cards (HDMI and normal output)
Note 2: It is also known that blacklisting it can switch off the redlight at the price of muting the system.
Note: Based on this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1574
A Mac (Except Mac Pro) needs servicing when there is a red light while the system fails to detect internal speakers. However, this article does NOT applies to this issue.
5A) More Tips:
Install gnome-tweak-tool for more customization
Search for: "gnome-package" to install:
Install Gnome Package Installer for advanced package repository
Install Gnome Package Updater for advanced updates to be install (Whereby Fedora's App Store alike might not show the relevant updates)
14. Verify if disk is still GPT:
Use Gdisk to determine if the disk is pure GPT:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742682
Command: sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda (The entire hard drive)
You should see the MBR is "Protective" instead of anything else.
15. Congrats, the system is ready for triple boot. (I forgot to eject my Windows DVD when the photo was taken)
Note 1: You cannot set the default startup disk in Linux due to the lack of Boot Camp Control Panel in Linux.
Neither is changing startup disk recommended in Windows due to the inability to display correctly.
For me, I click "Cancel" whenever I am on this tab (Feel free to make other Boot Camp adjustments in other tabs).
Only OSX I know that can show the startup disk options correctly.
Note 2: For some reason, OSX likes to auto mount the EFI partition everytime it boots up. It is not known to have any issue for ejecting other disks or mounting disks via Disk Utility.
Note 3: It is not determined if any Firmware or System upgrades will cause issues. It is only known that all 3 OS's regular updates should not be an issue.
System Updates excludes Mac OSX 10.9.3 updates to OSX 10.9.4 type as I had done it on a OSX 10.9.4 Mac or Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Update 1 since my Windows DVD comes with Update 1.
System Upgrades refers to OSX Mavericks to Yosemite, Fedora 20 to Fedora 21, Windows 8.1 Update 1 to Windows 8.2 / Windows 9 for that matter.
Note 4: Reset SMC and / or PRAM will NOT affect your ability to boot any of the OS (OSX, Recovery HD, Fedora & Windows 8)
Yup, that is it!

Dual boot with archlinux and windows issue

Hi again!
This is what i did from the beginning :
windows was already installed and then i installed archlinux after shrinking the windows partition . I made a partition for boot , one for swap and one for root(i wanted to do for home too , but only 4 primary partitions are allowed) . I made the boot partition bootable , and so was windows bootable and i got the message that there are two bootable partitions so it couldn't write the partition table . So removed the bootable tag from windows and left only the boot partition bootable . I then installed the grubloader to boot partition and then i edited that grubmenu and uncomment the part where windows was like it says in wiki. After restarting i could see the menu to choose between archlinux and windows , i chose windows , i succesfully logged in and after restarting again i couldn't see the grubloader and i automatically logged in windows .
Does anyone know what might be the issue ??
Thanks !

yes i only have one hard rive , i managed to find a solution not that elegant though , i 've installed acronis os selector from windows and i can choose between windows and linux with acronis on boot . If i choose linux i get to the grub menu and i can choose between arch linux and windows . So it seems that the grub menu is still there but it doesn't appear when i boot for some reason .

[solved] Can't boot with LVM and usb external disk

I successfully installed Archlinux on my first computer, using LVM on two internal Hard Drives.
I'm trying to do exactly the same on my second computer, but I got a problem: the LVM volume is not found at boot, so that the root partition can't be mounted and the boot fails.
The only difference is that, on my second computer, the second hard drive is connected through USB.
Some hints: my second computer boots perfectly with LVM and Ubuntu. Archlinux needs to be configured adequately.
I tried to add rootdelay=30 in menu.lst, but it changes nothing. Of course, in /etc/rc.conf I have USELVM="yes" and in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf I have HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata keymap lvm2 filesystems"
Thank you for helping me to keep Archlinux on my second computer!
Last edited by Achille (2008-06-29 21:59:09)

I finally solved my problem!
In the file /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, I modified the MODULES loaded:
MODULES="pata_acpi ata_generic ata_piix usbcore usb_storage uhci_hcd ehci_hcd sg scsi_mod sd_mod dm_mod"
I also add in the file /lib/initcpio/hooks/lvm2 the line /bin/sleep 10
/bin/sleep 10
msg "Scanning logical volumes..."
And finally, I ran the command:
mkinitcpio -p kernel26

Dual boot with Mavericks and Snow Leopard on Two different internal drives?

I have a late 2009 quad core Mac Pro running Snow Leopard- it has 4 internal HD's. I want to eventually upgrade to Mavericks. Before I do a clean install of Mavericks on my start up disk that has Snow Leopard OS, I was hoping I could download Mavericks and install it on another clean internal hard drive to test it out before I commit to erasing my main drive and doing a clean install. My Mac Pro meets the minium specs to run Mavericks.
If I install Mavericks on this second internal drive can I dual boot using the option key at start up and elect to either operate in Snow Leopard or Mavericks? What are the concerns or issues I might face if this is possible?
As I have Snow Leopard, I am also unable to produce a Mavericks bootable USB flash drive- the terminal commands don't work with Snow Leopard. With Mavericks installed on a second internal hard drive- will I be able to create a bootable Mavericks USB Flash drive?
Thanks for any advice.

1. Yes.
2. The Spotlight indexes may be rebuilt every time you switch OSes.
3. Yes.

Phone boots with messages and restarts in loop

Hello Everyone,
I have a strange issue which I didn't find answered in this forum. My computer crashed when updating the firmware of me Iphone. Unfortunately I don't know from which version to which version. However after this, my IPhone reboots in a loop. It starts with the apple logo and after that you can see many white lines appearing on a black screen just like if Linux is booting. The lines rush by so fast that I cannot read them. After 30 seconds, the phone will show the apple logo again and starts all over. I assume that the firmware is broken.
ITunes won't recognize my phone on USB. Seems like it cannot even start the USB services. Pressing the button on the front and the button on the right top corener has no effect. Is there any way how to fix that? My big hope is that I could somehow bring the phone into booting from a rescue firmware which would allow to reflush the firmware correctly.
Thank you so much for your help!
Best regards,
Henry

I have a similar problem. When my iphone reboots I just get a black background with the white apple logo. My options seem to be have the iphone off of the apple symbol. It also vibrates randomly when the apple logo is on the screen. It is recognised when i plug into itunes. Any ideas??

Server 2008 configured for PXE boot with UIU and GhostCast

Right now, I am in the process of switching over from UIU 4, to UIU 5, and the implementation is completely different. We used GhostCast to push images out before, but the new UIU uses WIM files to pull the drivers off the server. I had a few
questions about reconfiguring the new server.
Currently, we have a server 2003 machine running ghost cast. It pulls its images off of a server 2008 machine. The server 2008 machine can be accessed remotely. So my first question is, can this be configured to allow remote connections
with the new setup?
The things I have been reading have said that you need to enable DNS, AD, and DHCP, however if we connect this to a WAN, will it conflict with that? Or can we configure only one of the ethernet ports to see this? Sorry kind of new to this.
I guess my main concern is, can we set up a separate domain for GhostCasting, while still being connected to an external domain?

Hi,
I’m not sure what you really want to do. For PXE boot, I think DHCP is always required just like Microsoft deployment solution WDS and MDT.
The two products are third products, so I don’t know the detail information about how they work. Based on my experience, they should be based on broadcast or multicast.
If so it could be a bad idea if you install it on a server facing the internet.
I think you can also ask in the third party forums that provide the products.
Thanks for understanding.

Dual Boot with Leopard and Tiger

I've got a Dual 2 GHZ Power Mac, that I recently put Leopard on. Unfortunately there's a program that I need to used for a job that doesn't play well with Leopard (yeah, I shoulda made sure before the upgrade). What I was wondering is if it was possible to partition part of the system drive and load Tiger back onto it, and then be able to boot from either Tiger or Leopard. That way I can load the programs that are only friendly with Tiger on to that partition.
Or do I need to get another drive entirely and pull the Leopard system drive out?
Thanks in advance

Hi. You can install as many different systems on different volumes/partitions as you wish. They can all be mounted at the same time, and you can select the default system to boot from in System Preferences > Startup Disc - or select at boot time by holding down the Option(alt) key as you Startup. But a system must be the only one on that volume/partition.
Where to put the 10.4 system is more tricky. If you only have one internal drive, it's possible to re-partition it live - but not really a very good idea.
It would be best to install 10.4 on a second internal drive - or a volume on that drive - or on an external FireWire drive.
Needless to say all your data should be well backed-up before starting any of this.
Rather than go through all the combinations - please post again with any detailed questions. Good Luck.

To find out what happened during the installation, boot from the software 1of2 cd, to single user mode, with the following command:
boot cdrom -s
The system will bootup to a # prompt. fsck the root filesystem, and mount it to /a, with something like the following:
fsck /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a
If /var is a separate partition, you will have to fsck/mount it too:
fsck /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3
mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 /a/var
The installation log will be in /a/var/sadm/install/logs/install_log. This file should have information about what happened during the installation.

Dual boot with lion and mavericks?

Hi Guys,
I want to updgrade to mavericks as well as keeping lion to run my old soundcard { no new drivers will be made } so, I'm thinking of using my external hard drive to try and install mavericks onto and Dual boot my MBP.
is this possible?
Cheers, Iain.

Hi Mate,
I'm currently backing up my hard drive and then I'm going to download mavericks.
After the download completes you get this screen:
Quit without pressing the install button. Go to the applications folder and make a copy of the installer, move the copy out of the applications folder. When the copy is done doubleclick the installer in the applications folder.

Dual boot with WinXp and Arch-Solved

Hi friends,
I was using windows boot loader to boot into arch instead of grub. I used this:
dd if=/dev/hda7 of=arch.lnx bs=512 count=1
to get the first 512 bytes of the partition in which I installed arch and then added a line directing towards arch.lnx (moved to windows partition) in boot.ini. But now after reinstalling arch, when i do the same to get first 512 bytes of the partition, it generates a blank file and hence using that I'm not able to boot into arch. Grub is installed in this partition only. Any hints about this issue.
EDIT: I dont know what was the problem exactly, but after I reinstalled grub by "grub-install /dev/hda7" and then did the above command, it worked fine.

moderator comment: This is a question on Kubuntu installation but it seems to me OP specifically wants to know how to set up his partitions without harming Arch. As long as the discussion remains about Arch Linux this thread can stay. I'm going to have to move this from Installation to Newbie Corner.

Please see this. I advise you to read the links 2ManyDogs gave. You also need to give us more information about your partitions, such as what is mounted where. I suspect you only have primary partitions and will need to convert one into an extended partition.

Questions on dual booting with win8 and efi

Hello folks,
I have windows 8.1 set up on /dev/sdb in efi mode and would like to install arch linux on /dev/sda
Fast startup on win8 is disabled aswell as secure boot.
Now, my questions:
1) Do I create an efi system partition on /dev/sda or do I use the one windows created on /dev/sdb?
2) Just to make sure, I still need a /boot partition outside of LUKS even when using an efi system partition, don"t I?
cheers,
StR@ng3r

For question #2 I believe the answer is yes. See here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm … Partitions
