idividebyzero Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Im trying to dual boot leo4all with Vista, this is what I do: HDD has 3 MBR partitions, disk0s1 = vista, disk0s2 = leopard, disk0s3 = data I boot with -s fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 flag 1 write exit fdisk -u /dev/rdisk0 repair Vista (now Vista can boot) repeat for OSX... -s fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 flag 2 write exit fdisk -u /dev/rdisk0 After that I can boot to darwin and OSX works and I can select Vista but Vista is broken and needs to be repaired again. What do I do to get Vista working from the boot menu using leo4all (which has efi 8)?

What do I do to get Vista working from the boot menu using leo4all (which has efi 8)? do u have your vista install disk? [not the recovery] if yes, boot into it then select repair computer, and ur not gonna see your vista partition but click next/continue[i forgot what it is] anyway and select command prompt. lets say ur parts are in disk 0. in the prompt type "diskpart" type "select disk 0" type "select partition 1" [in ur case] put in "active" then "exit" close command prompt and click restart. vista should be booting. if it doesnt and it says winload.exe is corrupted blah blah blah, restart and boot into the vista disk again. click repair, you will see your vista disk and select it, then click startup repair. when its done, restart and vista should boot successfully. download EasyBCD from http://neosmart.net/downloads/software/Eas...BCD%201.7.2.exe. run it and select add/remove entries. go to the mac tab and select generic x86 pc on the drop down and put in a name for it. restart and you will see two entries in your vista bootloader. select your mac entry and on the countdown press a key and select ur mac part. it should boot. if u wanna get rid of the countdown go to /library/preferences/systemconfiguration/ and open com.apple.Boot.plist with a text editor and look for something like countdown then change its value to "0"[on the <string>5<string> part]. good luck!
