I will try again 10.5.1. However when I try to partition the hard drive with the mac disk utility it keeps saying the resource is busy. I used an jas 10.4.1 disk. Don't know why.

For todays festivities I am going to install xp partition in three sections. 60 gb for XP 20gb for leopard and the rest for backup files. ONce XP is installed I will try again the 10.5.1 disk. I will follow your guide to a tee. From what I remember my leopard is disks02 so i would use the command line

fdisk -e /dev/rdisks02

is that correct?

I will answer yes to the following MBR question. THen type in auto boothfs

This should work now correct?

Or should I install XP then make an image of it. Reformat then install leopard then restore XP on an available partition? The only problem I can forsee doing it this way is which OS would be recognized first.

What do you think? When I load up 10.5.1 it takes forever to boot. 15min or so. WOW

Thanks again for your input.
