TheDC70 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I would recomend using Acronis Disk Director Suite 10.0. I have found a lot of success with it. Instal the boot manager and you might be fine. It has worked wonders for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecker Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 You cannot pick windows as a startup disk. You can install a bootmanager like acronis or fix your darwin bootmanager to add windows to it. Use acronis, it's quite easy to install and gets the job done. hecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowHow Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 There is a freeware bootloader called WinGrub. It is a GUI for Windows for the GRUB bootloader and can be used to dual boot Windows and OS X. You can download it here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104188 and a good example guide is here: http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/wingrub.html Hope that helps.

Micro93 Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 I can boot xp or mac os X 10.4.1 but whenever i boot mac my computer won't boot windows. It says "invalad somthing. Insert system disk and press enter." to boot mac i use Darwin/x86 because it came on the mac cd i downloaded. when i try to boot windows using darwin i get the gray apple logo for about 2 seconds and then an error comes up that says i must restart, and "hold down the power button for several seconds..." That error is on top of a power button picture. To boot windows after i boot mac i have to reinstall windows. As i said above, wingrub won't work.
