Hi I've installed a SATA hard disk into an old motherboard. The motherboard doesn't support SATA so doesn't offer the disk to boot. I also have a small slow...
Hello Dan, ... Firstly double check the BIOS settings. There may well be an option for "other devices" but this is not always the case. I would recommend that...
I assume you installed a PCI card to attach the SATA drive to. I did the same thing. Check if your BIOS offers a boot to SCSI, my 2001 Award BIOS has that...
I might add a couple of notes and observations to this discussion from my own experience with XOSL on an older system with a newer hard drive. I believe the...
... That's correct. The more recent BIOS limit is commonly known as the 137 GB limit (by the more generous way manufacturers calculate GB) which requires a...
I have used XOSL for many years including about 2 years on my present system. However recently I needed to restore XOSL on the DOS drive (C:) and since then I...
I have had to completely re-write hard drives with zeros in order to get them to boot after a failed install of Beta OSX. Back up any data on the hard drive...
2009/12/19 Steven Clayton <lorrieo17@...> ... It may be that you have set up XOSL to boot to the wrong partition? I have 10 partitions on my 320 gig hd...
It is a bit difficult to analyze this problem as the information you have provided is somewhat inadequate. It is useful to know: how the drive is partitioned...
Yes, I was afraid that something like that might be necessary, although it shouldn't be. Maybe XOSL/Ranish are reaching their use-by dates, since they lack the...
Thanks for your comments Lorne, also those from Leowhi and Steve Clayton. My apologies for the lack of detail. The partition information for Disk0 as recorded...
... I find with modern Linux distributions with auto-update features that they are designed on the assumption that users boot using LILO or GRUB. Therefore,...
I have had this happen a few times and funny enough I find if I install from the HD partition that I am trying to install too instead of installing from a...
Sol, Thanks for the very informative guide. I am a newbie considering using XOSL as a boot manager for my new Windows 7 and Windows XP set up. Do you know...
Hi, After resizing the partitions, I am encountering exactly the same problem as discussed in message #3583: My first two primary partitions boot up ok, but...

Always great to have another multi-boot reference Sol and there is some very handy info in there... I did it quite differently. I won't go into detail but...
Hi Eric, First of all, thanks very much for the link. It did help me one big step forward. I went through everything with what was suggested and, to be safe,...
Julian, It should be straight forward fron there. Boot the faulty Partition. then " My Computer\Manage" and make sure that the Partition is Set "Active". If...
Hi Julian Have a look at: http://tech.icrontic.com/articles/repair_windows_xp/ The fixboot option in recovery console could solve your problem. Don't use...
Hi Eric, Hi Michael, Thanks for the reply and the links. I tried all of the shown possibilities, but unfortunate I did not get further as hoped. However, I did...
Hi. I managed to get XOSL to dualboot Vista and Windows 7. I've been making backups of both OS's using Acronis True Image Home v11.9053 I thought everything...
... It would be helpful to know what you mean by doing a restore operation. Is it moving a backup partition to where the original was or is it using MS's...
I like DriveImage XML. It is free and works with Windows 7. ________________________________ From: xosl@yahoogroups.com [mailto:xosl@yahoogroups.com] On...
... Hi Antoine. Thanks for your reply. By restore I mean restoring an Acronis disk image using Acronis True Image Home (TIH). Usin TIH you can backup the...
Interesting. I can't help with Vista and Windows 7. But I have experience of xosl and of backing up & restoring XP partitions. To create the backups I've used...
... This does look like a bug in Acronis's software. If you can reproduce this behavior on another computer or in a virtual machine, you can probably contact...
... I currently use Parted Magic, GParted Live or SystemRescueCD. Either from a USB stick or from a CD (older computers can't boot from USB). I have never had...
I could have sworn I downloaded and installed version 1.1.5, but when I first booted up XOSL, it shows the volume label in my dedicated XOSL partition as...
