HD! Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I installed Mac Leopard from the Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD but when I restarted my laptop yesterday for the software update, my laptop will boot from nothing but the Kalyway DVD and not from my XP OS or even my installed Mac OS. I can't access them and didn't know what to do. Mac OS works just fine if you don't restart it, so I am only restricted to putting it to sleep at night, otherwise I am forced to format my drive and install Mac OS again on the same hard drive. This is damn annoying. Does anyone know how to can either dual boot my XP OS from Mac os X or fix the boot problem i'm facing. Whenever I boot from HDD or boot from CD when the Kalyway disc hasn't been entered, an error code appears saying "Boot0: error" and nothing happens. What do I do?

HD! Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 How did you install it? Wich options did you select during installation? Also do you use GUID or MBR? I was never prompted any option like that. I just formatted one partition to a Mac os extended one and installed Mac to there. However the laptop always boots to CD/DVD and if otherwise a command prompt appears saying Boot0: error.

WaldMeister Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Then it has been installed to an efi partition, this one is not active. Install the package again, but just before the installation, select advanced in the lower left corner. Select the option to install to the osx partition.

Is there any way I can fix this boot problem without having to reinstall my OS? And how do I access my old XP OS that's now lurking around in my HDD?
