atlnte Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Here was my setup before any problems: Windows MCE 2005, Mac OSX (using chain0), and Kubuntu. then(I know it's not the way you are supposed to remove OS's, which is prolly the reason I am having problems.) I deleted the Kubuntu partition, an swap partition, and installed Vista on it. It worked just fine, but Mac OSX wouldn't boot, giving me a chain load error. So I deleted the Vista Partition, but the Vista Boot loader is still the one that is on my computer. I booted up my XP disc, and went into the recovery to try fixmbr, but it's still the same Boot Loader. So How do I replace the boot loader with the original from XP?

vizual.menace Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Have you ever used wingrub. It works great for me. http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net If you decide to use it and need help with setting it up feel free to ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlnte Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Figured out the solution. In order to delete the boot loader, I used VistaBootPRO http://www.vistabootpro.org/ That left me with my old boot loader, but Mac OSX86 still wouldn't boot, so I found a site that said if you do the following, it will allow Mac to boot... I booted off my Kubuntu disc, but any linux would work. su fdisk /dev/hda p (lists partitions) t (assigns a type) (Choose the Mac Partition) af (changes type to af) w (writes the changes to the disk) I in no way take credit for this. I found it on some site (lost it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
