zewly Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I did a backup of 2 partitions using disk util, but when I restored it on another drive, it won't boot into my 2nd partition(XP boot camp) it says: No Bootable Device osx boots fine, and I can acces the 2nd partition fine, all the files are there, and it boots to XP on the original drive fine. It's also strange that I can select the 2nd partition under startup disks, but if I hold option while booting, it only show 1st partition(OSX). I also tried deleting and repartitioning(FAT32) the 2nd partition in boot camp assistant, then restore through diskutil to the 2nd partition, but still the same?

zewly Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Ok after many hours researching, apparently diskutil won't copy boot sector info correctly for XP, so I used winclone instead and all is good.
