Making Drive 10 Bootable. ( New Thought ) |

I was thinking of using Xpostfacto and running it on my other partition that is OS 9 strictly to get a bootable system folder. I would think that there are files in the other system folder, the Drive 10 Cd and associated that I would miss and the cd would not boot. Not all the files that were require would be there. You see. So does anyone have any thoughts on creating the boot image and burning it to CD for use under Jaguar 10.2.2? Lee |

XPostFacto 3.0 will have the ability to help with this sort of thing. It occurred to me that the same technique I use to set up an install can be used to boot from any ordinarily non-bootable volume. Basically, XPostFacto 3.0 will let you designate a "helper" disk (which must be bootable). Then XPostFacto will set things up so that the earliest parts of the boot process occur on the "helper" disk, but then it switches to the disk you really want (in this case, the Drive 10 disk). It's actually a little more complicated than that, but that is the general idea. In any event, XPostFacto 3.0 should take care of this sort of thing. I'm hoping to have something to release for MacWorld in January--we'll see whether it is alpha, beta or release quality by then. |
