===Normal===

2 HDDs, one 160G, 2 partitions (GUID, HFS+) -- Mac & Backup, Mac is the system partition of 10.5.7; the other 320G, 4 partitions (MBR, NTFS) -- Windows XP, boot.ini with Chain0, everything is normal -- I can either boot 10.5.7 by setting the 160G HDD in BIOS as first boot HDD, or choosing 10.5.7 in Windows XP's boot menu.

 

===What I did to make it abnormal===

I bought a new 808.8G HDD, partitioned into 4 (MBR, NTFS), then migrated data from the 320G HDD. Detach the new 808.8G HDD, boot iPC OSX86 DVD with both 160G & 320G attached. In Disk Utitily:

1. Partition the 320G into 2 partitions (GUID, HFS+), name them 320A and 320B.

2. Restore Mac partition from 160G to 320A, restore Backup partition from 160G to 320B.

Keep the iPC OSX86 installation, but only select the Chameon boot loader (restore without re-installing the boot loader will fail, I tried before), when the installation is done, reboot.

 

Power off the machine. Detach the 160G HDD, attach the 320G and the 808.8G HDDs. Power on. Here comes the abnormal:

When I set the 320G HDD as first boot HDD in BIOS, 10.5.7 works without any problems. But when I set the 808.8G HDD as first boot HDD in BIOS, and then choose 10.5.7 in Windows XP's boot menu, it shows me:

Chain Booting Error.

 

I tried re-install PC EFI v9 in 10.5.7, but it didn't help.

Help needed, please!!!
