Thoros Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hi there, I'm trying to make a multiboot which consists of XP and OSX (iDeneb V1.3). My hard disk situation is like this: XP on a primary partition on HD1 OSX on a primary partition on HD2 I already tried copying chainO to my C-partition, but when I select OSX in my standard bootloader, it prompts "boot1:error". So now I'm all out of ideas. How can this be fixed into a working multiboot? Edit: my boot.ini: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn c:\CHAIN0="Mac OSX" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/155113-chain0-wont-let-me-boot-what-now/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninetto Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Have you ever booted into OSX on this machine after installing iDenNeb? Do you even see Darwin boot menu before geting error message? Have you set timeout also in OSX ? Could you boot XP before installing OSX? Which OS did you install first (XP or OSX)? Have you set AHCI in the bios and installed the drivers for XP? After answering those questions, more help will be available.

Flex89 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 i've got an similar problem with my DELL Studio 17 Notebook. i had Vista installed first and used it a long time, since 4 months i guess, so its important for me dont to loose data from C:\ Harddrive 1 (C:): Vista Harddrive 2 (D:): OSX (iDeneb v1.3 (Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.5)) When I use the entry in the standard Boot Loader, which I created under windows vista with EasyBCD 1.7 i get a "chain booting error". But I was able to launch OSX with the help of a BOOT-132 CD. is it possible to leave the step with the BOOT-132 CD out? i did already so much wrong, had to reinstall OSX yet the "fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0" thing didnt worked for me, which i found in the forum. maybe someone can explain it to me thx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/155113-chain0-wont-let-me-boot-what-now/#findComment-1104747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
