Zenica Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hello, I am, new to this forum and this is my first post. I installed OS X 10.5.2 to my HP DV9500 and everything went as the guide (http://dailyapps.net/2008/03/hack-attack-d...-windows-vista/) said it would and as of right now, the computer boots into OS X exclusively and only from the DVD. I am unable to dual boot. I would like to try the whole "fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 flag 1quit reboot" thing that seems to work for everyone else how ever when I depress F8 at ANY point once the computer is turned on (nevermind when accessing the DVD) it just ighnores me and continues with the lines of text that seem to come from the Darwin loader followed by OS X. I think I am missing the whole single user thing but I do not see where that option would come from. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Zenica Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Thanks for the reply. The suggested fix you posted in the other thread will apply in my case? It seems from the note you made at the bottom that your not sure about the booting from the DVD. As with the other post, my Leopard OS will only boot from the DVD but it runs off the HDD once loaded. I have no access to the Vista OS also on the HDD. I would prefer a boot menu where I can choose between the two rather than defaulting to Vista unless that DVD is in the drive where it will default to Leopard.
