Also you should have made the partition active with disk utility before you installed leopard.

ЀṾ Ïñ Ðì§gû燎 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 yes writing this from xp right now.. leopard by default makes its partition active after install.. n no tutorial has ever emphasized on that.. hence dont think that was the reason its not booting into it.. plus i think the other attempts ive made to boot into leopard are good enough.. do u have any idea how to boot into leopard using the dvd as the bootloader??
