Hi, set windows part. to active, and don t forget to add chain0 (you found that in root-directory of your osx installation DVD) in your root directory of your windows-installation (partition).

 

works here for me....

 

if you set up in windows boot.ini you can select at windows(start) the os you want to boot.

load your OS X DVD, open terminal:

 

type:

 

"diskutil list"

 

Use this to find which partition number you have installed XP on, it should be 1, 2, 3 etc

 

now type: "fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0"

 

now type "f 1" (1 being the number of your XP partition).

 

Type "write"

 

Type "exit"

 

restart your computer and XP will boot.

 

Good luck,

Tom
