Brand: General that's write (ironic maybe ) is not related to cheap brand or whatever but you've probably burnt wrong format...

radan Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 Hello again. Thank you indeed for answer! It looked like a good solution, but the biggest problem is that i haven't a USB-floppy disk. I have a USB stick, but somebody told me that it will be quite hard getting to work. Right now i have created two partions. One for windows and one for OSX. When the operation was done through a program called Acronics, a bad thing happened. (se this http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...+say+it+enough) This is what happened. When acronics finally overwrited (partionated) grub and my linux, grub won't start, not even the XP at all! So all i wish is to boot my Jas DVD, but the way booting through USB stick seem quite hard. Any help is indeed much apreciated.

radan Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 (edited) "When installing is done, OS Selector will ask you to restart, and after you restarting your computer, OS Selector will be active" A copy paste from the [HowTo] XP + OSX 10.4.4-10.4.8 native dual boot guide It is very strange that this is not included my Acronics version. I was supposed to believe that the acronics could get rid of GRUB and linux. Furthermore, i installed the typically version of acronics, maybe the OS selector wasn't included? :S Edited December 16, 2006 by radan Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35997-comapplebootplist-not-found-what-the-hell/#findComment-256572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
radan Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 Darn! What a fool iam! The OS selector is not automatically installed. I have to install it by another way. First i need to boot my xp, and install my OS selector. Hard to figure out Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35997-comapplebootplist-not-found-what-the-hell/#findComment-256574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zabalabo Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 (edited) If you have dowloaded the acronis ssuite, you have to install OS selector. Start, program fils, acronis, install acronis os selector I didn't have any problem with acronis, but when you restart you have to wait (me about 10 or 15 min, because there was 750 Go to analyse) Sorry for my english EDIT ; you've posted before me Edited December 16, 2006 by zabalabo Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35997-comapplebootplist-not-found-what-the-hell/#findComment-256577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
radan Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 Thank you for answering. Iam right now in a booting mode called Winternal. Hopefully will this unique CD make XP possible to boot even GRUB is having downtime or troubles.

radan Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 (edited) EDIT: Winternal won't boot xp Could a repair of the XP version work? I suppose no, cause GRUB is still there edit: is about to run fix/mbr command in xp now Edit2: Got the problem fixed now. I will soon install the OS selector, but back to the topic. How do i boot the jas dvd. The message is still boot.plis blablabla!

radan Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Today this morning, i managed to boot my jas 10.4.6 on a IBM Intel centrino SSE2 laptop. So now i know my CD is P-E-R-F-E-C-T! Should i go ahead trying to boot my CD anymore, or should i give up and try VMWARE? Any help regarding boot.plist. is much appreciated!

clownshoes19 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 You could try a non-free boot manger and install that on a fat16/32 drive or install Smart Boot Manger on a fat16/32 drive...

zaharide Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 This happen to me with my dv8000, yet the dvd worked in my PC and VMware... this is what I did that worked http://linux.simple.be/tools/sbm with ftp://ftp.cs.pu.edu.tw/Linux/momonga/3/i6...rawwritewin.exe clownshoes19 - I too have a hp dv8000 and have had no luck - I need to get a USB floppy to try your suggestion - but would love to chat with you as to what your next steps were and whether you were successful with the native install.
