iPC and Windows vista dualboot

[Sean FEd]

Hmm well i tried dualbooting with iPC and windows vista but i got lost in the middle of it. I can only seem to get to vista now but not mac os x. This is on my laptop runs mac os x perfectly and what not. can someone help me out with this and/or link me a guide?

 

There is one hard drive in the laptop, and teh laptop is an toshiba a135-s4527 with 2gb of ram and in intel cpu

I found a guide but didn't seem to work on my laptop. I couldn't find the chain0 file either. Is there a way that i could use the windows bootloader or the mac one.

i cant retype so look at the 2nd and 4th post by me, it'll explain some of the ways to mark a partition as active either your mac os x or windows, etc.

 

typically people use mac darwin boot loader or chameloeon, etc. not windows bootloaders, although i do know that easybcd lets you boot into mac, etc. to do that you'd need to properly install and setup easybcd, also of course mark your windows vista partion as active so it'd only boot vista, but before it boots vista it'll boot the boot loader!! yay! haha, which will let you choose vista or leopard.

i just use the default darwin bootloader, worked great right out the box with vista and mac.

 

 

PLEASE NOTE:

 

If you follow some commands and say it says type flag 1 and you do and you retart and it boots windows instead of mac or vice versa.... just see it this one, flag 1 means flag partition 1 as the active partition. flag 2 means flag the 2nd partition, rdisk0 means hard drive 1, rdisk1 means hard drive 2, etc.
