johnnytluxury Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Ive done this osx/xp dual boot thing for a few months now, alwasy following guides to the letter, but for some reason when i did it this toime, I got this "insert system disk, disk boot fialure" note. Im guessing osx muss my MBR, but even when i went to windows boot CD to fix it, I still get this message. This has never happened before, same system, same specs. nothing has changed. I was trying osx 10.4.6 JaS, but Ive also used the 10.4.4 to 10.4.5 (maxus owned). Ive put the chain0 in my win install, and edited my boot.ini like ive always done, and have had perfect results until today. My question is: is there a way to boot form the WinXp cd, so i can get into windows, like booting from the Mac Cd to get into OSX? This soo pissin me off!

edav Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hi johnnytluxury, The boot record of your XP partition is damaged. This worked for me. HTH, edav.
