I sucessfully installed Leopard throguh iAtkos 4.0 with no problems and loved it. The day came where i needed to get rid of it though, and i wasn't exactly sure how to do that. I assuemd if i jsut deleted or reformated the partition somethign woudl get messed up, but i went into Partition magic and deleted teh HFS+ partition and increased the size of the NTFS partition to encompass it. It looked liek it worked since My computer in Windows tld me that the size of my HDD was the original partition plus the new one. Then I inslattled a program that was to big to fit before i increased teh size of the partition and restarted.

Uh OH.

 

Everytime i turned it on Darwin would go and it woudl just show me error b0 or somethign of the sort.

 

I've been messign around with it for a while now and i can't seem to get itt to work at all. I popped in a Windows Boot cd and it said that the partition was an unrecognized or corrupte file format. Then i did a fixmbr and fixboot commands. And messed around with windows utiliteies osme more. Created some partition entries i think and it allowed me to see all the contents of my hdd. So now i can see the HD when i trry to dir in windows repair screen but when i turn my comptuer on it can't boot off the HDD. I used bootcfg to sett eh windows XP partition as the default and set it to use fastdetect.

 

DO i need to recreate he entire Boot record to make it work?
