Guest IanP Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I got a triple boot to work out between Mac, Windows, and SuSE. At first, in GRUB, I went into Mac OS X (my boot option) and it said that it was a corrupt partition. I left it alone, thinking I will fix it later. Anyways, earlier today I was going into Windows (from GRUB) and when I went into it, it brought me to the regular boot.ini bootscreen! This is how GRUB was setup: Windows (hd0,0) SuSE (hd0,5) Mac OS X (hd0,1) Floppy (flp0) Failsafe (can't remember) This is how it is now: Windows/ Mac (hd0,0) SuSE Floppy Failsafe When I go into the WINDOWS/ MAC option, this is how it looks: Microsoft Windows Xp Professional Mac OS X In the MAC OS X option, it gives me this (exact text): (hd0,0) Windows XP Pro (hd0,1) Tiger X 86 Linux Going into Tiger brings me to Mac, going into Linux brings me back to GRUB. Does anyone have any idea why this is working? Not that I am complaining, but how come Mac wouldn't work in GRUB with (hd0,1) but it works in boot.ini with (hd0,1)?

Kevlar Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 In GRUB you can add a selection for OS X, it would look something like this (not sure it looks exactly like this): name Mac OS X root (hd0,1) makeactive chainloader +1 Then you can boot to OS X straight from GRUB (I believe you get the partition error if you don't have the makeactive and chainloader +1 in GRUB). Then edit your boot.ini to take you straight to windows, and you should be all set.

Guest IanP Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I have an HP P4 1.89 ghz PC. Kevlar, I tried that, and it brought me to this wierd blue bootloader (that didn't load mac either). I believe it was the LILO boot screen, but I am not sure.
