os_overload Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 it sounds as if you might be using grub to load OSX. if this is the case, make sure you use: rootnoverify (hdx,x) chainloader +1 (where x's are hd and partition number) and not simply: root (hdx,x) chainloader +1 and not: chainloader (hdx,x)+1 to verify / change this without booting linux you can hit esc to get to the text mode grub if you are not already there. then select the entry, hit e to edit, enter to confirm, d to delete a line, o to open a line, and b to boot the current entry. you may need to provide more details so we can be of more help..

Jussi Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 Ok, Im really sorry for not providing any details. (I expect you to have a crystal ball ) I managed to get windows back up after much stress and jibes from my wife I downloaded a boot cd. So.... first some details! Inspiron 6000, Intel 915 integrated graphics, 40 gb HDD, Pentium M 730 1.6ghz, normal bells and whistles - wifi, etc. I created a new partition, then dd'd the image across - tiger-x86-flat.img. now when I use bootmagic 8.0 to change the boot partition I get the HFS+ partition error! After reading most of the different install guides, I cant figure out how to fix this. there is one that says about how to do it in grub, but i cant figure out the wingrub interface. so if some one could offer me a further pointer it would be great!!
