Hello,

 

If you use the Vista boot loader:

 

Put chain0 in your Vista partion (in root: C:\ )

Run cmd as administrator and type this commands:

 

bcdedit /enum all | find "{ntldr}"

 

If it returns

 

identifier {ntldr}

 

It's ok if not, type that:

 

bcdedit /create {ntldr} /d "Mac OS X"

bcdedit /set {ntldr} device boot

bcdedit /set {ntldr} path \boot.efi

bcdedit /displayorder {ntldr} /addlast

 

and this commands:

 

bcdedit /copy {ntldr} /d "Mac OS X"

bcdedit /set {YOUR-GUID-HERE} device boot

bcdedit /set {YOUR-GUID-HERE} path \chain0

bcdedit /displayorder {YOUR-GUID-HERE} /addlast

 

Note that you need to replace YOUR-GUID-HERE with the actual GUID returned by the first command. To illustrate this, the following are the actual commands and responses.

 

C:>bcdedit /copy {ntldr} /d "Mac OS X"

The entry was successfully copied to {bcfa924e-07e0-11db-9d86-accf6fd346a1}.

 

C:>bcdedit /set {bcfa924e-07e0-11db-9d86-accf6fd346a1} device boot

The operation completed successfully.

 

C:>bcdedit /set {bcfa924e-07e0-11db-9d86-accf6fd346a1} path \boot.efi

The operation completed successfully.

 

C:>bcdedit /displayorder {bcfa924e-07e0-11db-9d86-accf6fd346a1} /addlast

The operation completed successfully.

Just want to point out:

 

This

 

bcdedit /set {ntldr} path \boot.efi

 

Should be

 

bcdedit /set {ntldr} path \chain0

 

...

Someone's copy 'n pasting too recklessly

I have WinXP and Vista installed, and then after I install Jas Mac OS X 10.4.7 and reboot, I got an error of "Operating System not found", how do I fix the problem ?

What's your partitioning scheme? Be sure to note which partition is active.

hmm, i just tried this, and i ended up editing my legacy (xp) entry in addition to the osx one..

 

i got xp back, but i get a chain0 error when i try to boot osx.. it says that the specified file cannot be found or is corrupt..

 

but i do have chain0 in my c:\

 

i tried to copy/paste my bcdedit configuration from the command window, but i can't figure out how to do it..

 

--

edit : so it turns out that the above method does not work for PCs (not sure why the posted put it up if he didn't test it)

 

regardless,

i think it might be possible if you can add a second legacy or second vista entry, and then name chain0 to boot. in theory it makes sense, but i can't figure out how to make a second legacy or vista entry.

 

any help would be appreciated.
