I have a question, can this be done without having a mac because I cant get my uncles mac cuz my mom hates him :U. Hey, this looks like a very nice guide indeed! So just how well does this tiny processor handle Snow Leopard? Compared with, say, the WinXP that comes installed my D150-1920, beefed up now to 2gb RAM For dual-booting, how need the instructions be modified to install to a MBR-formatted drive? If I remember i will post what my menu.cfg file looks like later. I did it a little different though, instead of using chameleon for the boot loader, i use the grub2 loaded all my partitions doing Linux last, it tried to make a working boot, all I had to do was change the menu.cfg file and now gives me the option for each. I acutally have my acer zg5 as a Triple boot OSX 10.6.3, windows 7 and linux mint. Septemat 5:09 pm QuoteĬool finaly i got it done after 16h non-stop evreting is working exept for the wi-fi, one of the card reader.Ĭlement : ok got it to work but now how cani make it dual boot oe even triple boot mac os x win xp and linusthx This is turning out to be a lot harder than I expected. Again the thing went to a blank screen with a blinking cursor and got stuck again.Īgain I had to remove the battery and unplug it to make it turn off.īack at my iMac, I double-checked the files in the thumb drive side-by-side with the graphic representations in the tut, and all is perfect. This time it went to the Boot Option screen and I arrow-selected the USB flash drive and did another “Save and Exit”. When the Acer screen appeared, I quickly pressed F12. Next, I put the battery back in and plugged in the power adapter and pushed the START button.
I could find no way to shut down, so I had to remove the battery and pull the power plug to turn it off.
I expected it to boot from the thumb drive, or continue booting into Windows, but instead it went to a blank screen with a blinking cursor. I enabled it and arrowed over to “Save and Exit” and hit Enter. That opened another screen where I noticed F12 for Boot Option was disabled. Please help, or direct me to somewhere that can pleeease.Īfter reading everything I could find, it turned out that I had to hit F2 within the 1 second when the Acer screen first appears, when the note in the lower left corner appears you don’t make it the thing goes ahead and starts with the password screen and you have to shut down and start over Then I went through some of the choices at the top, one of which was “MAIN”. I’m totally lost, cannot find any way to choose the USB drive to boot from. I’ve been at this for 6 hours, exploring other sites and trying to find a screen that will allow me to choose the USB drive nothing, nada.
