This one is for multi OS addicts like me.

I have a triple boot with 2 versions of OS X86 and Windows XP.

So how do I exchange files between OS X86 and Windows systems?

Under Windows XP, I use MacDrive to read/write HFS+ partitions.

But under OS X86, I must use a FAT32 partition to write data on a windows partition.

NTFS is not supported in writing mode.

I really want to get rid of that FAT32 partition and avoid the max 4 gigs file size limitation.

So here is the solution, use MACFuse to write to NTFS file system.

Omni just released today his modded kext (drivers) to allow full CI/QE support
for NVidia cards!! Amazing project called Titan! Congrats omni!

Follow omni’s instructions:
Please note that this was only tested in OS X 10.4.8
with semthex kernel.

Put the kext in your /System/Library/Extensions/ folder,
then in Terminal:


sudo -s
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extension/Titan.kext
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/Titan.kext
rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
reboot


Download Titan kext from: omni.starchaser.org/titan/

Sherry Haibara has found a way to boot physical Windows partitions in Parallels,
running inside a MacOS X86 install! Congrats! Here is the tutorial:

Get the latest Parallels beta here
Open Parallels and choose to create a new virtual machine.
It’ll ask you what HD do you want to use. Choose Boot Camp.
Continue the setup, but do not run the Virtual Machine.
When finished, close Parallels.

Use a Text Editor to edit your virtual machine configuration file (*.pvs).
Find the line that says:
“Disk 0:0 image = Boot Camp” and replace it with this
“Disk 0:0 image = Boot Camp;diskxsy”
where diskxsy is your Windows/Linux/Other OS “Boot Camp” disk.
disk0s1 is valid for instance.

Save and exit.
Start up Parallels and launch the Virtual Machine. Enjoy!

Can’t wait for leo!

Zephyroth has been hard at work not only in developing the Software Update Utility for AMD/Intel machines, but also a beta of an “About This Mac Modifier”, which allows users from both platforms to edit their “About this Mac” info screen using a graphical user interface (GUI).

Users are advised that this utility is still in early development (beta testing) and is subject to future updates.

What is it?

This software allows you to modify the “About This Mac” screen easily. You can use any image you want to replace the default Apple logo as well as change the CPU and RAM information.

New version of ATMM (0.3)
About-This-Mac-Modifier-0.3.zip

- Detect if the dropped file is an image or not.
- Automatically resize image to fit correctly in the About This Mac screen.
- Ask for logout if you dropped an image for the change to take effect.
- Some minor interface changes to be closer to the About This Mac screen.

Enjoy!
