chain booting error

[tatapoum]

Hi guys,

 

I've successfully installed a WinXP - Mac OS X 10.4.6 dual boot on my laptop using VMware and the physical disk.

 

The only problem is that the OS X partition doesn't boot (with the chain0 method I see a "chain booting error"). If the OSX partition is active, the BIOS can't find the OS at all. Same problem if I try to boot OSX into VMWare.

 

However, I can boot OSX into VMWare if I boot on the DVD. Then I press F8, and specify the kernel and root device to the bootloader : mach_kernel rd=disk0s3. This works.

 

So it makes me think that for some reason the bootsector wasn't written on the OSX partition during the install.

 

Is there a way to fix it ?
