I can boot them seperately by selecting the boot HDD from BIOS, but I don't have a working multiboot screen iv) I want XP to be the default boot system I wanna have a multiboot for this mess windows multiboot screen is preferred, but no matter if u choose to use tboot or sth like that plz help me too PS: the boot.ini in C drive (IDE) is as below: [boot loader] timeout=5 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\"Mac OSX Leopard" /fastdetect C:\chain0="Mac OS X86" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/151994-multiboot-help-for-two-different-hdds-xp-and-kalyway/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chain0 file and the statement c:\chain0="Mac OS X86" [where Mac OS X86" is the volumn label containing the Leopard] should also be in SATA c drive, not on IDE hdd which holds OSX. The volumn label of OSX should be consistent. The double quote " " should not appear in chain0 statement.

onurthemonur Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 thank u for helping; I'm not sure if I understand u correctly but u want me to change all the partition table or reinstall all the systems,OSX and XP, to dfferent partitions, right? if I'm not wrong... when I set up BIOS for booting with SATA HDD it's primary partition happens C (J occurs in XP)... so it's not enough for that boot.ini? or should I just change the tag of J as C ? and u want me to change the boot.ini as: C:\chain0=Mac OS X86 right? by the way the partition magic installed in XP sees the partition table as follows... the ide is invisible here but it has 4 partitions (c, d, e, f) and OSX is intalled on E so isn't there any short cut method for this?
