[SOLVED] [dualboot] doesnt work anymore / winload.exe error

[robert_]

hey everyone,

 

at first...excuse the following bad english ;-P

 

ok...i've got a little problem with my os-x/vista system.

the vista partition wont boot anymore. i recognised after updating to leopard 10.5.4

..before that, it was running very well.

 

(how this was done: vista was already installed, created a 20gb hfs+ partion, installed os-x, installed chameleon. everything was nice)

 

if i want to start the vista partition now, it says ⁄windows⁄system32⁄winload.exe is missing

i checked my ntfs partions under os-x....they are well. all files are where they have to be.

 

 

i tried to reinstall chameleon, but it doesnt help.

 

 

any suggestions how to fix that????

 

 

thanks for helping...

 

greets,

robert

you need to insert the OSX DVD boot into it, press F8 then type "-s" without quotes for boot option

 

when you see something like #sh.3xxx

 

type the following:

 

fdisk -e /dev/disk0

flag 1

update

write

quit

reboot

 

disk0 means the first disk of your pc (the one that vista/xp is installed) and flag 1 means the partition Vista/XP is installed.

by entering the previous commands, you activate the first partition.

 

now boot into Vista/XP installation DVD/CD and do a repair on your vista/xp installation.

 

once it is done, boot into OSX DVD again, press F8 and -s as startup option again

 

type the following if you use the OSX boot menu to choose between OSes :

 

fdisk -e /dev/disk0

flag 2

write

quit

reboot

 

now when you reboot on the second partition , when you press F8 on the Darwin Boot menu you should be able to load both OSes...

i already fixed it by my self....

 

this it how it goes:

 

 

1. boot a gparted live cd

2. remove the boot flag from the hfs+ partition

3. add the boot-flag to your nfts partition

4. boot a vista-setup-dvd

5. repairoptions -> auto-repair-startup

6. after this, windows should boot again.

7. boot gparted-live-cd again.

8. remove boot-flag from the ntfs-partion

9. add boot-flag to hfs+ partition

10. quit and enjoy yout dual-boot-system.

 

 

have a nice day!
