All of my boot options boot vista!

[jpscool4u]

i have a boot screen when i restart my computer, with a choice of windows vista and mac os x (i used iatkos 1.0ir2)

 

but regardless of which OS i pick, it boots vista!

i think i may have messed up in the cmd in vista with those commands.

 

how do i find the GUID for the third command? (it's supposed to be bcdedit /set {GUID} PATH \chain0)

there were 2 or 3 or 4 different alphanumerics that came up after i typed in the second command.

 

can someone help me out?

 

thanks so much

 

also, if for some reason this doesn't work, which disk should i use if i try it again (iatkos 1.0i, iatkos 1.0ir2, leo4all, kalyway etc.)

and is there a "total newb" tutorial with screenshots etc. including the dualboot setup (for vista)

 

thanks so much guys

You can download easybcd for easy editing, add the second entry should look something like this

 

Name: Mac OS X

BCD ID: {}

Drive: C:\

Bootloader Path: \chain0

Windows Directory: \Windows

 

You have to copy chain0 from the cd to your c:\ directory, and that should work wonders.

 

 

easybcd is available from download.com or you can edit your boatloader manually by opening cmd in elevated mode and typing

 

bcdedit /copy {current} /d “Mac OS X”

bcdedit /enum active

bcdedit /set {GUID} PATH \chain0

 

In the first command type {current} as it is, literally..nothing else..just {current} with the brackets. In the 3rd command however, replace the {GUID} with the alphanumeric GUID you see in the enumerated list under MAC OS X. You can see this list on your terminal as soon as you type the 2nd command above.

that's exactly what i'm having the issue with!

 

when you said that i will see the GUID after i type in the second command, there were multiple alphanumerics. i picked one of them, it said it completed the command, i restarted, but my boot option called Mac OS X just booted into vista like usual. yes, i put chain0 at the root of c, and yes i did all 3 of those commands. what did i do wrong?

 

should i use a different disc (like leo4all or kalyway or something)?

maybe you picked the wrong alphanumeric..?
