[QUOTE="aarnclayt, post: 755756, member: 33916"] is it possible to dual boot with tiger and no additional proprietary software (ie without bootcamp or vmfusion or parallels)? i don't mind wiping my hard drive and reinstalling everything. i have a 16gb flash drive to backup my files with. this is how i see it working: 1) boot with the tiger install disk 2) use disk utility to create 3 (or 4 for a shared) partition 2a) 200 mb efi 2b) 20 gb hfs+ (mac) 2c) 20 gb ntfs (shared) 2d) 20 gb fat 32 (xp) ... or something like that 3) install tiger 4) install some apps - including rEFIt 5) boot w/ xp install disc and install will that work? am i forgetting anything? i got my next door neighbor to burn the driver disc (im not sure how updated it is and i don't know if i need different drivers with xp 64 vs 32) does this sound reasonable? or am i crazy?
