Help! b0 error booting!

[sonikku x]

Hi! This is my first time to install but I have a big problem.

 

Windows XP or Leopard won't start.

 

I receive a b0 error.

 

Anyway, I enabled SATA Mode and Enable that other setting and followed this guide:

and this

and I don't know what to do

Edit: Actually got Mac OS X 1.0.5.1 to boot using CD and so far, I like it.

 

If theres anyway to multiboot in Mac OS X, I would like to have information about how to make the Windows partiton bootable.

The b0 error is a common issue when installing osx for the first time. I found out the issue i had was caused by the disk label of the partition i was installing onto. It CANNOT contain a space, so if your partition for osx is labeled 'Mac OSX' Change it to 'MacOSX".

 

Once this is done and OSX loads up fully, you can change the name back, I read it is something to do with the bootloader not being able to interpret the space character in the label name.

 

This fix worked for me and has worked everytime i have installed osx since, obviously, someone on this forum has a great deal more expertise in this field than me as i consider myself a novice mac user, but it may get you started without the boot cd.

Try this:

1. Boot with install disk using -s option.

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

3. flag 1 (replace 1 with OSX partition no.)

4. update

5. write

6. quit

7. reboot
