jollyroger2 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 hi everyone! I have just installed iDeneb 1.4 10.5.6 and it all works out of the sund card, but I didn't care because I thought that I could have used it on windows xp, so when my music needs came out, I restarted my pc and through darwin I have tried to start windows xp. So I have found the bad surprise: the boot loader (darwin), when I choose windows xp, stucks and shows only a vertical slash ( this one with a hole in the middle: |). So I tried to change the active partition in the terminal of the iDeneb cd in fdisk with the command flag but with no success. Then I tried to use the recovery console from the XP cd with the commands fixmbr and fixboot but I didn't have success. So I recovered my XP installation pressing R in the installation of XP but when the computer restarted the same thing appeared (I don't remember what). Then I started again the iDeneb dvd and changed back the active partition and now Mac is working. can you tell me please how can I make windows xp work again? thanks in advance! my specs: mobo: Asus Rampage Formula ram: 1 GB x 4 DDR2 800 proc: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 slightly overclocked audio: An old creative sound blaster audigy PCI (because the integrated one didn't work) HD: 750 GB seagate 7200 rpm video: nvidia 8800GT overclocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debu.sagii Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Probably in the first case you needed to change the Windows XP partition to active partition.........that could have solved the problem! Then added the Mac OSX partition by adding a entry to the boot.ini file and chain0 file........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenz1 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Try the boot loader from Acronis disk studio. But it will install only under XP i guess. Or you bring the soundcard to run under OSX. What card do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
