So I (somehow) managed to install Mac OSX 10.4.6.

(My partition isn't HFS+, hope that doesn't matter) Everything on my mac runs fine but here's my problem

 

Until now I had to use 'Partition Commander' to either activate my Windows partition or my MAC OSX, cause somehow I can't get my MS Boot Manager to boot MAC, windows starts fine but not my Mac

So now I wasthinking, can I install Boot Camp on my Mac to choise between Windows or Mac WITHOUT reinstalling Windows.

 

I already used the Debugger to create a CHAIN0 on my Windows HDD (C:\CHAIN0) and set "c:\chain0" Mac OSX" in my Boot.ini but when i select Mac OSX the Boot Manager coms back again, I again select Mac OSX and the Boot manager comes back again.

To use the chain0 method you also have to turn off "Quiet Boot" on the Mac OS X partition. Search for info on editing the com.apple.boot.plist file and add the following lines:

 

<key>Quiet Boot</key>

<string>No</string>

<key>Timeout</key>

<string>5</string>

 

And now you can boot from Chain0 on windows partition.
