Spartan76092 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I finished installing Iatkos on my Dell Inspiron 1520 tonight using this tutorial http://www.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/ind...hp/t106893.html. I thought everything was fine until I tried to boot Vista Home Basic using the Darwin Bootloader. Whenever I select any partition besides the Mac partition, it doesn't boot Vista. It just restarts Darwin and has me do the same thing. I think this might be because I didn't follow the instructions when it said to put a check next to the bootmgr while installing. I never saw an option for this while installing. So, I am wondering how I can update the Darwin Bootloader or switch back to the Windows Bootloader to be able to once again load Vista. Edit: I think it might be a problem with the Vista Parition not being active. I know absolutely nothing about activating partitions, so could that be the problem.

3Dman Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hey, I also got this problem, I fixed it by inserting Windows vista DVD and repair the system to install vista bootloader and make my vista partition active, Then install EasyBCD to add Mac to vista bootloader .

MacNutty Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Make your Vista partition active and then boot from your Vista DVD and repair Vista. This may solve your problem.
