I tried to follow this guide but right after I type:
   sudo fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0

I got this:

fdisk: could not open MBR file /usr/standalone/i386/boot0: No such file or directory
Enter 'help' for information

I could never get to the partition list for disk0, on which my Mac OS X and WinXP are installed.

Anybody has idea about this?  Thanks!

[kombucha]

Ignore the error, just move on (type "print").

I have the same issue, no idea why.

[lilSoldier]

Does nobody have any idea how to help?

[lilSoldier]

Still nobody?

print is a command of fdisk, not bash. do the first part with the fdisk command, then when your prompt looks like

fdisk>

thats where you type print and the rest.

I've tried these methods too, but I also keep getting the b0 error...

Any help is appreciated

I post here a really easy to follow guide that will make you eventually boot from your windows partition under vmware if:
you are using a dual boot XP/OS X normally booting with the darwin bootloader
you have them on the same HD
VMWare is not seeing the windows partition as a "BootCamp" partiton.

1) Install VMWare.

2) Open terminal and type:

sudo fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0

where 0 is the number of your hd where you have the two systems.
type:

print

here you will have a list of your partitions. Please proceed ONLY if you see the HFS+ partition flagged with the * symbol.
type:

flag X

where X is the number of the windows partition you want to use with vmware.

type:

write

type "y" and enter.

Do not exit fdisk as you will need it just in a few minutes.

3) launch vmware and you'll be pleased to see that you now have a bootcamp boot option. Follow the program instructions.

4) When you have finished to install everything and play a bit with the new toy exit VMWare shutting the machine down.

5) Go to the open terminal window and type:

flag X
where X is the number of the partition the was flagged before you changed it (the HFS+ boot partition).

type:

write
y
exit

6) Open vmware and verify that the BootCamp boot option is still there (as it was for me).

7) Try to reboot mac os (it should be all ok!

DONE

i keep getting this error "NOT_REACHED bora/mks/main/mksQuartz.c:1216". i dont have 3D enabled in vmware. i have QE/CI supported....what gives???

[cskena]

Just a quick tip.  I was able to get XP to boot in Fusion by flagging the XP partition and using the XP bootloader and tboot to boot into OS X.  However, I still can't get XP to run.  I get a BSOD when it tries to load the ACPI drivers.

Thanks it's perfect form me; great work.
Only one little problem. when I star VM with bootcamp the follow message appears:

                                 You are ing a 64-bit guest operating system, but the virtual
                                 machine is configured to run a 32-bit operating system.

                                 To ensure that a 64-bit guest operating system will function correctly
                                  you must create a new virtual machine and be sure to select the 64-bit
                                  version of the operating system.

After this message, I click "continue" and Virtual machine start and it's OK.

Any suggestions? Is it possible to set VM 64-bit (mine windows is really XP 64 pro)?
Thanks in advance

Im also getting the b0 error, so I tried to create a new VM in Fusion on aother HD, but I keep getting a message says "Invalid Path" no matter I select the installation disk or installation disk image file at the final stage. Anyone know why? Cheers!

[devnull73]

Im getting the 'error 17' problem listed earlier - did anyone ever find a workaround?

[sergyy]

I'm using Parallels & easily managed to run Vista from real partition.
I guess in order to run Windows from real partition in Hackintosh you should use Windows bootloader (WinXP or Vista) to boot you whole system. I mean OSX should be booted with Windows bootloader, which loads Darwin boot code. Look what cskena wrote.
BTW, Fusion fails to boot Vista for me.

[ddrdark]

thanks! worked 4 me

[kantasai]

For those who have b0 error, try this way : boot Gparted with your Boot Camp Vitual Machine and then flag the Boot Camp partition with "boot".It works for me but i don't know it will work for you guys or not .
Sorry for my bad english.

If you are getting a b0 error, it usually means that Fusion found your 'boot camp' before you were able to set the Windows partition as active.

To get around this:

1. Make sure Fusion is not running.
2. Using Finder, go to /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion and trash all of the folders (you should see Boot Camp and Helper)
3. continue with step 2 sroddy's tutorial (post 1 in this thread)

Dude there are a lot of folders there. That cant be the answer. I have the B0 error with vmware 1.1 using vista as the guest. Anyone got an idea how to help with this?

THANKS

EDIT damn even after a reinstall it still does not work. Still getting b0 error. Ahhhh WHY

[Gidi]

I cant reach GRUB too, It halts with error17 too...

Any solution to this?

[NSCXP2005]

Does anybody know if it is possible to mount a VMDK as a physical disk and have it available for a real install for hackintosh?

[NSCXP2005]

I wonder if somebody could help me.

I have dual booted XP & JaS Leopard through VMWare under Windows XP, I have booted in to Leopard and installed VMWare Fusion, but when I run the boot camp partition it comes up with an error message.



Please can somebody help me to get this to work.

I am testing All of this under VMWare under Windows before installing Leopard for real.

I hope somebody can help.

All the best
