Dual boot problem

[flaker]

Hi All

I installed tiger and windows xp on one physical hdd...

and I edited boot.ini file on WindowsXP and dual boot working...

I booted with tiger and it shows darwin boot option page, and another boot option appeared..

 

hd(0,1) Windows NTFS

hd(0,5) Tiger X86

 

Now I changed com.apple.Boot.plist file to change graphics mode / quiet boot...

Once I restarted with tiger, it returns to windows boot option...

I recovered it by deleting Quiet boot option...

 

How can I choose hd(0,5) to startup with MacOS directly?

-what key/string to make hd(0,5) as default?

i think that you have to set the osx86 drive as active. don't remember how to do this, but look around in system preferences. i seem to remember that it's one of the buttons toward the bottom of the screen.

I resolved it...

 

The simplest way to make a dual boot, it's the way that br0adband did in his patch installation guide... (but win98se boot disk isn't needed)

 

1. Install Tiger from DVD ... before installation make 2 partition with diskutility on Tiger Installer... Choose first partition for Tiger...

2. Reboot after installation and verify if Tiger works well...

3. Boot up with WindowsXP CD...

4. Choose second partition (it may be showed as E: unknown partition..) Delete it and recreate partition... Once done, reboot with F3... Now you have new partition for windows...

5. When you restart Windows installation process, it will be showed as C: , so you can continue installation (of course, do not touch another partition with Tiger)

6. Once installation is completed, boot up with Windows (of course it can be boot up just with windows...)

7. choose start/execute/cmd

8. type "diskpart" this will reactivate tiger partition...

9. choose tiger partition and activate it... (select disk, select partition, activate ....)

10. reboot your machine, now you have only Darwin bootloader....
