skynetxp Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I installed iatkos 2.0 (leopard 10.5.2), but i want to manage dual-boot using xp boot loader. I made xp partition active with Paragon Hard Disk Manager 8 (similar tp partition magic), but i now get the error "Invalid partition table". I also used fixmbr and fixboot commands of xp recovery console, but still have that error. How can i get rid of darwin without going to reinstall windows? Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116876-unable-to-remove-darwin/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
obs0lete Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I had a similar issue a few months back. To solve it, I downloaded GParted (it's a live boot CD) and set the Windows partition as Active, then rebooted with my XP CD and ran fixmbr. Hope this helps!

skynetxp Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 Thank you, i will take a look at GPart with the hope it will work better than Paragon hard disk manager. I will inform you if it worked or not. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116876-unable-to-remove-darwin/#findComment-827887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
