absurd Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Windows works fine, but I can't boot into OS X. And that's where all my music/movies/etc are located. So I go to Administrative Tools > Disk Management, and I can see my partition ("unknown"). However, when I restart and hit F8, Windows is the only option. How can I boot back into Mac? I basically just want to move all of my media to a new, separate hdd. I've been browsing topics for a good hour and half now, so if this has already been asked I apologize. Edit: boot.ini looks like this: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect So I tried adding this at the end (but it didn't work): multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\OSX="OSx86" any ideas? o_o Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18831-so-i-installed-xp-on-top-of-my-machine-running-1045/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mactelman Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Get the Chain0 file, PM me if you want me to email it to you, and place it in the C: directory. Edit boot.ini and insert the following line without the quotes: "C:\chain0 = Mac OS X Tiger" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18831-so-i-installed-xp-on-top-of-my-machine-running-1045/#findComment-123310 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit boot.ini and insert the following line without the quotes:"C:\chain0 = Mac OS X Tiger" You've got the quotes wrong there anyway, it should be: c:\chain0 = "Mac OS X Tiger" with the quotes exactly as they are.

munky Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Alternatively, download the GParted live iso, burn it to a CD, boot and mark the OSX partition as the active partition. unlike XP, osx plays nice and lets you optionally boot legacy operating systems.

pjrf Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Ok, c:\chain0 = "Mac OS X Tiger" work for mac on second partition, but in 3rd dont! I did test also in VMWare and it works when I hide one of the first partition to make mac second partition. Do I need to compile the chain0 to work for other partitions?
