Getting there!<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s great having OS X on such a small computer.<br \/>\nTo get Snow Leopard on, I followed this guide: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mydellmini.com\/forum\/mac-os-x-guides\/12691-how-setup-snow-leopard-mini-10v-a06-bios-6.html\">Snow Leopard with A06 Bios<\/a>. One slight difference is that I created 2 partitions when setting up with Disk Utility: One Mac HFS and on FAT32. Snow Leopard went on the first one. It&#8217;s a little flakey, but it works. I was messing about with it today. <\/p>\n<p>Truthfully, I need this device for running a digital mixing desk via WiFi and a range of other PC only audio programs. So that meant getting XP going again as well. This time I turned to a different guide: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pctipsbox.com\/installing-windows-xp-using-a-usb-flash-drive\/\">Installing XP using a USB Flash Drive<\/a>. It works perfectly except after the Text section, I kept getting an error saying that hal.dll was corrupt or missing. Looking through forums, it seems that this is common with installing from USB. Ouch. All that time wasted. <\/p>\n<p>Still looking at forms revealed that this method worked with a single partition. This spurred me into looking at the boot.ini file from the USB drive on my Mac Pro. <\/p>\n<p>This revealed that the both mentions of partitions were for partition(1). Of course, because there is a bootloader on partition 1, and Snow Leopard on partition 2, this means Windows is actually on partition 3. So I changed both instances of partition(1) to read partition(3). Setup then completes successfully. I need to go back now and reset the bootloader, but all is good for now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hackintosh"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/533\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
