boot1 error after windows re-installation

[arcticsheep]

I had windows and mac working perfectly (mac being the active partition, which has the bootloader to give me the option of windows or leopard [i think]). But recently I reinstalaled windows because it started acting up, and i haven't really touched mac ever since because obviously windows resets the active partition to the vista partition. so eventually i wanted to boot into mac so i decided to change the active partition to my leopard partition, which i did successfully, but now all i get is "boot1: error" when i start it up. what gives?

 

 

 

thanks

Try this:

1. Boot with OSX install disk with option -s

2. At command prompt type fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 (replace 0 with your disk no.)

3. flag 1 (replace 1 with partition no. where OSX is installed)

4. write

5. update

6. quit

7. reboot

 

If still problem, then you need to install bootloader again.

I already did that, it didn't work... I it's my first disk (0) and third partition (3), but that's what gave me the boot1 error.

 

How can I reinstall the bootloader? I tried to find it on the internetz but I had trouble working with the "startupfiletool" and "bless24"?

 

And how can reinstalling windows affect another partition's bootloader?

I tried this with disk2 partition 2. Still get boot1: error

 

Any help? Thanks!
