Parallels – Boot your physical Windows partition
Sherry Haibara has found a way to boot physical Windows partitions in Parallels,
running inside a MacOS X86 install! Congrats! Here is the tutorial:
Get the latest Parallels beta here
Open Parallels and choose to create a new virtual machine.
It’ll ask you what HD do you want to use. Choose Boot Camp.
Continue the setup, but do not run the Virtual Machine.
When finished, close Parallels.
Use a Text Editor to edit your virtual machine configuration file (*.pvs).
Find the line that says:
“Disk 0:0 image = Boot Camp” and replace it with this
“Disk 0:0 image = Boot Camp;diskxsy”
where diskxsy is your Windows/Linux/Other OS “Boot Camp” disk.
disk0s1 is valid for instance.
Save and exit.
Start up Parallels and launch the Virtual Machine. Enjoy!

Write NTFS with MACFuse
This one is for multi OS addicts like me.
I have a triple boot with 2 versions of OS X86 and Windows XP.
So how do I exchange files between OS X86 and Windows systems?
Under Windows XP, I use MacDrive to read/write HFS+ partitions.
But under OS X86, I must use a FAT32 partition to write data on a windows partition.
NTFS is not supported in writing mode.
I really want to get rid of that FAT32 partition and avoid the max 4 gigs file size limitation.
So here is the solution, use MACFuse to write to NTFS file system.
JaS 10.4.8 DVD – AMD & INTEL – SSE2 & SSE3

Long live JaS!

Security Update 2006-007 for OSx86
The security update has been reported to work on any INTEL SSE3 machine.
AMD is broken, since it replaces some of the files (Finder) that have been patched.
You need to be sure that you are running r2d2,
which should be the case if you installed latest 10.4.8 JaS DVD.
If you are not sure, run the command kextstat under Terminal,
and see if r2d2.kext is listed/loaded.
If you are running the last modded from source 10.4.8 kernel,
you don’t need r2d2.kext anymore, it is integrated in kernel.
Leopard 10.5 running on a PC
This is history! It happened in November 2006! The first Leopard Beta release running on PC! |
One day in 2006, when the first Leopard beta was leaked, we got it running on Intel x86 PC.
At the time, Leopard was very similar to Tiger OS X, talking about look & feel.
Since that time, a lot happened in the OS X86 scene, and we are proud today to have
Mac OS X86 10.5.3
