If you run XP you also need the floppy disk facility that you find there. ĭownload the Intel Matrix Storage Manager from this adress. Known workaround at this time use Jowie's tweak or a similar method to make the file variables palatable to the EFI32 boot loader.
Mac driver for vista install#
The 32-bit EFI boot loader freezes when you try to load an install disk with multiple images.
It will not be able to read Windows install DVDs with multiple images like the anytime upgrade DVDs. The 64-bit varieties of Vista and Win7 have 32-bit emulations installed which will allow you to run any 32-bit program. When you are finished with Windows you remove the single disk and refit your array. Then you do your Windows installation stuff. To substitute for your now missing array clone OS X to a single disk before you remove your array and when you have it taken out, fit that disk. After installing Windows you can put the array back in and it will run without a problem again, so you need not be concerned to remove the array temporarily. To work around this problem you can physically remove the RAID disks and put them away for a moment. The installation program will tell you that you are installing to an external drive although you are setting your Windows drive properly up on one of the # 1-4 HDD bay. An OS X software RAID array prevents Windows from recognizing other SATA drives as internal. There is a bummer which may hit you if you already use a SW RAID in OS X with a pre 2009 machine. In order to make the AHCI installation you need to fit the Windows drive to a standard HDD port and make the installation according to section 5. This is possible as soon as the AHCI driver is working. Some people like to use a unused ODD-SATA port for a Windows HDD or SSD.
Mac driver for vista Patch#
The shell script for the MBR patch is made by Johnsock. This tutorial is based on the instructions from Ludachris at Many thanks to him. In XP you have to hit the F6 key in the beginning when XP starts to load from the optical disk. In Vista and Win7 you do this from the installation window where you can format or partition drives.
Mac driver for vista drivers#
If you are making a fresh installation of Windows from the install disk you can pre load the AHCI drivers from the floppy facility (check the download link in section 3). You actually edit your Master Boot Record (MBR) inside the GUID or MBR partition table with a terminal script. On an EFI machine as the Mac, you have to manipulate the boot mechanism because the firmware has no user adjustable features. On a BIOS machine you simply use a software switch to select the configuration. It expects a BIOS command to select the AHCI mode. Windows natively uses legacy drivers instead of AHCI when you install it. When you go to profiler in OS X and bring up ATA you will see that your disks will all be connected by AHCI protocols. AHCI drivers (Advanced Host Controller Interface klick -> for Wiki) are advanced performance drivers for the SATA controller in your Mac Pro (ICH10R chips for Nehalem - ESB2 for all others). This is about the installation of AHCI drivers to SATA ports for Windows.
