Darwin Dual Boot Mac OSX + Hanging Win XP?

[UnderSeeker]

I have two separate hard drives, where I first installed MAC OSX through the vanilla method (version 10.5.7) and everything went fine. I disconnected that hard drive and connected another one to install windows xp. When the Mac OSX harddrive is disconnected, the windows xp one becomes active and boots into fine. When both are connected, the Mac harddrive is active and when it gets to the Darwin bootloader I can pick between either OS. This is where the problem is. If I select Mac OSX, it works fine, but when I select Win XP it just goes to a black screen with no response.

 

I went through a bunch of forum threads to figure out what was wrong, but I couldn't find a solution. I was wondering if anyone could help me out or suggest an alternative if no solution is possible? Thanks in advance!

I'm still lost, the only way I avoid the blinking cursor and get to XP is by changing the boot order of the harddrives, but now there's a bigger problem. When I boot into XP, and boot back into OSX, OSX doesn't work! I reinstalled it again and works initially, but after I go into XP, it doesn't work. I dont understand why booting into XP on another harddrive would affect OSX, any suggestions : (

Install boot think 2.2.2 in any of this hard disk will do the trick.

 

If you dont keep track which hard disk to boot first then install Boot Think 2.2.2 in both hard disk.

 

Make sure to do click setupMBR.bat in Darwin folder after installation, if you install on XP hard disk. This will make Boot Think 2.2.2 boot directly without windows boot menu.
