Fyi, in case you didn't realize it, you need to unrar the chain0 file out of that linked file.

All I am using is the touchpad, and that works for me.

Si it looks like you can't boot this from a USB drive. You must install and boot from a partition. Is this right? Anyone have a good guid to making a partition to install on, and not kill the install of XP I have now?

Use partition magic 8.0. You can resize existing partitions without losing your OS. I doubt its 100%, but I've never had an issue with it.

Mixman, I am running into the same problem you are. I have a 100gig HD on my xps and I made drive D with 15 gigs for a future linux install, also make another 15 gigs for Drive E for MAC OS X. I loaded the Ghost image from partition to drive E and I put the chain 0 on the root of drive C, the extra line that I added to boot.ini was originating from E:
I get the same error at boot, missing hal.dll, I do not want to change it since I read about your problem, and hope somebody can give us a solution.
Let me know if you know any way of fixing this.

Why did you change the boot.ini line, it has nothing to do with what partition you have the Mac OS loaded on, it only has to do with where the chain0 file exists. The chain0 loader will find the Mac OS. The boot.ini should still say:

"C:\chain0="Mac OS X"

Because c:\ is where the chain0 file is. I don't care if your Mac OS partition is D,E,F,G,H,I...X,Y, or Z drive. Hopefully this is what you two are doing wrong, but I really don't know.

Also, more questions can be answered here (although it was posted earlier in the thread, I guess people are reading the whole thing):

Hope some of this helps.

I though this is what I was doing wrong and I change that a few times with no sucess. It is not sitting at C: cause I though the same thing you just said. However my problems are there still.
I am going to start reading other threads specially that one today, I am sure this has happen to a few people so somewhere there should be a solution.
But thanks for the options, if more ppl would sujest things then a solution would arise.

OK let me get this straight. you add the, C:\chain0="Mac OS X" line directly after the : Windows Professional line in the boot.ini file ?

Quit the bullshit and make the OS X partition primary in diskpart and you won't have any problems. If you want to boot windows just press a button and just the NTFS partition.

You should be able to, I believe it's 4 cd's and you will need rosetta to run it. There goes what little HD space we have now...
