Hello,

 

I have currently 3 partitions; on the first one it has Windows 7 (C:), the second one is just some files(D:) and the last one is OSX86 Leo4All v4.1(E:).

 

After installing Leo4All, I looked in Disk Utility and it gave some new 'System Reserved' partition. I did not ask for it.

But yea, whatever i thought.

 

But, when trying to boot back to Windows 7 in the Darwin bootloader, it said it misses a file.

 

So, i tried out all the partitions... Finally i got into Windows 7 Bootloader, but from which partition? The 100 MB System Reserved partition.

 

I thought like, what the heck?! But, when trying to boot, it gave me an error which said there is an error when trying to boot Windows 7, might caused by recent software or hardware installation blablabla.... So, basically, i can not boot back into Windows 7.

 

I tried the Repair function in the 7 DVD, but when i have to select an OS it gives no options...

 

What might be possible to use is a Bootloader, but which one? All of them can only be installed from a Windows OS. I DO have a copy of Windows 7 DVD and a Windows XP cd, but installing that again on the D partition is such a big piece of work...

 

Anyone knows? Maybe using Bootcamp? I guess not.

 

Or should i just install Windows 7/XP on that 'files' partition?

 

I have Windows 7 RTM build 7600, Mac OS X 10.5.4 Leo4All v4i.

 

AMD Athlon64 4000+ processor

MSI Motherboard

ATi X1200 video card

 

Anyone any idea? ;)

Got it to work. This is what i did (for people who have the same prob):

 

It seems Mac has MOVED (not COPIED) the boot files from my Windows 7 Partition to the System Recovery partition. So basiclly what i did is moving them back into the Windows 7 partition. I could boot up now, but still the error (unaccessible drive blablabla)

 

I inserted my 7 DVD. Right now, also i couldnt select any OS at system repair, but i just hit next. Now i do a Startup Repair, and your off the hook!

 

(the only prob is now i have to find a good multiloader because now it boots to my Windows 7 directly)
