CarlosP Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I've partitioned my hd to run OSX (Kalyway) and XP... I've used the darwin bootloader without problems.. The thing is now I installed ubuntu (but inside the XP partition).. and I now have to switch to using the windows bootloader instead to boot into ubuntu.. The problem is that by changing the XP partition as the active partition, when you select MAC OSX, the darwin bootloader will boot the active partition ("XP") as default.. which makes it anoying having to select OSX twice in order to boot it.. is there any way I can switch the darwin bootloader to OSX as default, while leaving the Windows bootloader as the OS selector??

CarlosP Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 try making kalyway partition active. um.. yes.. I already did that.. like I said, I was using darwin bootloader from the kalyway partition (as primary) without problems.. The problem is that I need to boot Ubuntu from the xp partition, where it is installed.. and because it is installed inside windows, the darwin bootloader will not detect it..
