Khronos Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Hi, I've installed Tiger in a new hard disk, installation went perfect at the end I had to reboot and I turn off the computer because it never booted. But know I have a problem, I've also added dual boot and the dual option appear but if I select Mac OSX nothing happens :S It comes back to the dual choice. My BIOS is quite old I don't know if it can be a problem. Please help Thanks ^^ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22787-helpdual-boot-doesnt-work/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Sounds like you didn't make the OSX partition "active". Need to use fdisk or a partition software to correct that.

Rammjet Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Boot into windows and use Diskpart to set the Mac partition active. In the following reference, skip down to the Diskpart section and adjust your disk number (if not 0) and partition (if not 1) to the correct disk number and partition number for your Mac partition. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=147220 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22787-helpdual-boot-doesnt-work/#findComment-151146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
