Need help with dual-booting

[fork96]

After installing Leopard on my Dell Inspiron B130 (iDeneb v1.4), I tried to reinstall Windows XP to dual boot with. Only problem, I installed XP on a separate partition, and now it won't load OS X. My computer just boots straight to Windows. I've tried using Startup Disk in the iDeneb installer, but it only shows the disc and "Network Startup." And, if it helps at all, I reinstalled XP through a Dell disc instead of a retail one, and I updated it to SP3 (from 1a).

 

Is there anything I can do?

Hello

Is necessay install an bootloader to manager boot.

But you're using an Distro. Retail install is more easy to configure.

Choice a retail installation mode and follow the Walkthrough:

*Choice OSX partition like your 1st partition.
*Partition OSX partition and Windows partition as GUID
*Choice Mac OSX Journaled for OSX and FAT for Windows

*After install OSX install Windows

I hope it help

Get a with Leopard compatible version of Chameleon bootloader install it on an usb stick with Extra folder, copy your to SMB.plist to extra , and the Leopard mach-kernel to the root of your usb stick. Try to boot with it and install chameleon on your Leopard installation. Use the platform search for getting to a multiboot guide, how to make your installation active.

 

Have fun.
