docmac Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 How do you change the active partition back to the windows partition after jas 10.4.7 install ? Because when I reboot after I install osx, say's windows cannot boot ! I guess this is because the active partition is on the osx partition ? Please help this is so frustrating !!! Is there something in terminal I have to do after the install ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andnever344 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 if you have a windows install disk, boot into that open recovery console, type diskpart, select disk 0, list partitions, select partion (insert number of xp install here) . active then reboot, that will get u back into xp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docmac Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 I only have a recovery windows xp sp2 disk! Is there another way change the active partition ? Maybe from inside osx after install. If so how would I go about doing this ? Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you press 'R' when prompted in order to enter recovery mode. Then follow the instructions given above. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
