i was trying to install winxp, and then the winxp installer asked me to make te leo partition inactive in order to preceede with the installation. then the installation was completed i booted into winxp did my thing. when i tried to boot back into leopard all i got were instants restarts just after the POST. then i decided to boot the kalyway dvd and see if the leo partition was broken and needed to be repaired. to my surprise the disk utility showed me that leo partition was all greyed out and the file system is linux which is not true because gparted shows this partition as hfs+.

 

pls help me so i can boot in leo

marking this partition bootable in gparted does not help, pls help all my important data is on that partition:(

same thing happened to me, ended up just reinstalling leopard. Windows removes the MBR from the leopard partition when it flags its own partition. I would do research on reloading your bootloader. If you have the space you could restore your mac partition to a different harddrive. then partition your existing leopard partion and only install the bootloader

then restore from extra hard drive to your new drive.
