MiahX Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I had XP on primary partition, and installed OSX on a secondary partition. But now I can only get into OSX, and only by having the Kalyway DVD in the drive (and not pressing any keys to install). I can however see the xP partition/files from OSX. I can't boot Gparted for some reason, won't load. "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" Is there a way to make the XP partiton active again from OSX?

poopmonkey Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Insert your install dvd, like you would if you wanted to install, get to the installer and you should see bar on the top, click on utilities. Now click on Terminal. Type diskutil list To find out which partition number XP is on. It should be on 1. Next type in fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 PRESS ENTER flag 1 PRESS ENTER update PRESS ENTER write PRESS ENTER exit PRESS ENTER reboot PRESS ENTER Remove your dvd from drive as the computer reboots and it should go into XP.
