Hi everybody,
Yesterday I tried to install both osx 10.4.8 and Win XP sp2 (dual boot) folowing this guide http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Simple_Dual_Boot
While everything seemed to go very well with osx, when I tried to boot WinXP from the Darwin boot-loader, I got this error message:
-------
reading disk error .. press ctrl+alt+canc to reboot...
-------
I couldn't find any solution to boot Win XP, I'm looking everywhere, I really don't know what to do.
Is there someone who can help me?
Thanks!

try getting gparted livecd on a cd and boot with that
check the active partition, if you're lucky, it's not the one with XP on, and you can change it to that and boot
