agent-squirrel Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 You probably need to make your windows partition active again and reinstall the appropriate bootloader for you OS Vista-BCD/XP-ntlder. This can be done using the OS boot/install cd/dvd. Once done you will only have windows as a selectable OS my advice is to modify the bootloader in windows to add MAC OS X as an OS to the bootloader. Guides can be found to perform such an action across the internet.
