wizkidweb Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 All right, no need to swear. You need the original Windows XP/Vista DVD to fix the "unable to boot to windows" problem. After booting from the Windows install DVD, go to the command prompt and launch diskpart: C:\>DISKPART It will say something similar to this: Microsoft DiskPart version 6.0.6000 Copyright (c) 1999-2007 Microsoft Corporation. On computer: WIZKIDWEB DISKPART> If you see that, begin by typing: list disk You will then see something like this: Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt -------- ---------- ------- ------- --- --- Disk 0 Online 112 GB 0 B Then type the following. Select the disk # that windows is located on: select disk 0 It will say: Disk 0 is now the selected disk. Then type: list part This will list all of the partitions in the disk like this: Partition ### Type Size Offset ------------- ---------------- ------- ------- Partition 1 Primary 97 GB 32 KB Partition 2 Primary 13 GB 97 GB You now have to select the partition that Windows is located on. On my computer it is Partition 1, so I would say: select part 1 It would then say: Partition 1 is now the selected partition. Then, you need to set it as an active partition. To do this, simply type: active Hope this helps. If this is successful, you will be able to log into windows. Note that this only works if you have a bootloader working (listing the OS's on your system on boot up). If not, I don't know how else I could help you. Now that should fix your bootup problem, but you asked some other things. Here are my answers: I don't know how to fix your problem with booting from the DVD, so you'll need to ask someone else. I didn't look up your specs, but if you have an Intel internet card you won't be able to use the internet unless you don't have a WEP-enabled internet. You will then need to install an iwidarwin driver. If that doesn't work, I don't know how else to help you there. If you have a USB sound device that should work. If you're lucky you will have Windows working, but probably not sound, internet, etc. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101830-leo4all-wont-boot/#findComment-726662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
