Hi,

I've tried to make OS X and WIN XP dual boot from the same hard drive, but with little luck. The steps:

 

1. XP was already installed on a primary partition

2. Installed OS X on a logical partition

3. OS X boots but only with the DVD in (why?). XP can't be booted.

4. Made XP partition active. Booted in XP.

5. Copied chain0 to XP partition root, and made the modifications to boot.ini

6. In the boot menu if i choose XP it boots up, if i choose OS X: "NTLDR missing"

 

So if i want to use the other operating system I need to change the active partition.

I can live with OS X needing the DVD, but I'd really like not to have to change the active partition all the time.

I wouldn't like to format my hard drive also.

 

Thanks in advance.
