Unknown User Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I made the mistake of using windows diskmanager to flag my mac drive to boot now i get a boot1: ERROR from darwin bootloader? anyway to reload the bootloader instead of reinstalling mac os x all over?

Unknown User Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 anyone? it looks like windows removed the mbr from the mac drive and changed it to ntfs how can i change it back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jskandhari_ULV_User Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 TRy installing easyBCD and in it select the drive where mac is installed and create a entry for the same and below in the options select it as leopard desktop (PC).. there is a difference in the mac book and mac desk if you select mac book you will havve to provide a file from your mac to the BCD where as it will no ask for it in desk version and will boot easily... Hope it works for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown User Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 easybcd is only for vista. I think i figured it out. I copied my partition to another hd with restore then installed only the efi bootloader over my messed up hd then copied everything back. good as new. I hate windows more and more but have to keep it for some work stuff. I should have known that windows disk manager would rewrite over the mac mbr should have just used gparted like I always do. Wont do that again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
