I installed kalway a few times, each time it loaded w/ a f'ed up graphic and i couldnt do jack.
tried messing w/ the kernels but it kept booting to the install dvd from there on out.
The problem is i erased the partition with leopard using disk utility and want to boot back into windows, but am unsure how cuz all my pc wants to do is boot into darwins loader (from the dvd)....

is there a work around or something to boot into windows (from darwin perhaps?) so i can burn another dvd (as i believe mine isnt a completely good copy). Please help

quick edit - i am using an 80gb SATA hd split into 2 partitions (1 w/ leopard, 1 w/ windows)

i blanked leopard again and this time darwin let me boot into windows (there has to be a cmd for this besides blanking the leopard drive?)
admin can delete this thread as i have another one with repeat info on the {censored}ed up start glitch... ima reburn leopard and let it install overnight and see how it goes
thanks for all the help (no replies in any of my threads asking for help in over 2days.... im an asshole but come on, where's the help?)

look for Acronic's disk suit or Hiren's Boot cd they Utility cd's which have tons of DOS utility programs of your everyday, partition magic, fdisk, extended fdisk, whatever soo many helpful utilities
when u have that burnt Boot it up at start up (don't worry it'll beat darwin to it)
and you use "extended fdisk" which is under partitioning Tools::::use that application to make your Windows partition active again. and install a Boot manager for dual boot later if you decide to install and run leopard again.

but there a another option
there's a post installation patch here on this forum i found it once but i'm looking for it again
it makes your leopard installation bootable without the DVD and it also configures Darwin Boot Manager to recognize Windows partitions and solves the dual boot method
