Help... Won't Boot!!!

[gk128]

I installed OSX86 using the Generic Patcher Method on my Dell i9300. I installed it on a 7GB partition that I made in Windows using Partition Magic. While setting up the install I used the Disk Utility to delete that partition which in turn formatted it into the Mac file format. From there I did an install, and here I am.

 

Everything is all well and good I am typing this in Safari right now.

 

My problem is that when I reboot my computer it says there is nothing to boot to. I have all my Windows info and everything visable in OSX, but the PC won't boot to either. I have to put the install DVD in tell it to exit the installation and restart into OSX.

 

How do I fix this within OSX so I will be able to dual boot into eithier OS?

 

Please help.

I just figured out how to boot into Windows using the System Properties.

 

Now how can I fix this boot issue?

 

EDIT: I ended up trying "DiskPart" in XP. I set my C: as the active drive. This now causes my Computer to boot into XP.... which is good.

 

Now how do I get it to dual boot with OSX?

To use the windows bootloader, copy the file chain0 from the dvd to your windows drive. then add it to the boot.ini file "c:\chain0="MacOS X86"

 

To use the darwin bootloader (default to macos) boot to osx (insert dvd and reboot) then select macos in the startup disk control panel, and set Quiet Boot to no and set a timeout.
