BillDivX Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I am setting up a XP/10.5.2 dual boot. Both OS installs went smooth, I now have it booting to OSX and OSX seems to run fine on my system. However, the next step is to run GParted Live CD and reset the boot flag to the NT partition, so that I can use the NT bootloader to pick OS. GParted seems to have trouble talking to my harddrives (its a IP35 board with SATA hard drives) and won't ever finish loading. Is there some other option for getting my machine to boot back into windows? Ummm, nevermind. you can use fdisk from the macosx command line. Maybe someone should write an updated dual boot guide? this is way easier than using GParted.
