I had mac osx leo installed and working fine on my PC for about a year now. I did something stupid and decided I wanted to clone the hard drive for a backup, and somehow that messed up the MBR on the original and cloned drive.

 

Anyway, it boots directly into Windows XP. Under the disk management it still shows the mac partition is there. The XP partition is listed as (boot) and the mac partition is listed as (active).

 

I looked into it on the internet and some threads say to put chain0 file on the windows root directory (which I did). And add this line to boot.ini: c:\chain0="MAC OS X" (which I did).

 

I get the dual boot menu, showing the MAC OS X, but if I select it, I get an error message saying: Windows root \system32\ntoskrml.exe not found or corrupted.

 

I also tried replacing ntoskrml.exe, but it didnt work.

 

Any idea how I can get these mac partitions to boot?
