OSX 10.4.5 Booting problem

[marcrem]

Hi,

Here's my problem:

 

1) I made a partition of 10 GO with partition magic.

2) I ran Ubuntu, cfdisk, then changed the type to AF

3) I got a 10.4.5 install dvd and installed succefully.

4) I went to windows, put a chain0 file found on 360hack

5) I added "C:\chain0="MAC OS X" to the boot.ini file.

 

Now, When I try to boot in osx, it says "Chain booting error"

 

A-) I booted with the mac install dvd, then tried to reinstall, but it was saying mac os x was already installed.

B-) I changed my OSX partition bootable, but it said another error , something like "Missing Operating System"

C-) I kept this partition bootable, then inserted my mac os x install dvd, and ohmy.gif IT WORKED!

 

The problem is that i have to go to linux everytime to change my bootable partition, and i have to let the OSX dvd in...

 

It happened to someone else:

i got hold of the 10.4.5 DVD and it installed a treat. I set up the chain0 boot method but no joy. the damn thing just won't boot. the only way i can bring it up is if i set the partition i installed OSX on active and then boot from the OSX DVD i installed it with. if i don't touch the Darwin bootloader countdown from the bootable DVD it boots in -v mode and OSX comes up fine.

 

What can I do?

 

Thanks!
