"Missing operating system" trying to install osx

[jimbo1]

Alright so I've encountered yet another problem on my way to dual booting vista and os x 10.4.8.

 

First of all, I'm using 10.4.8 with the ppf1 and Defiant.diskutil.7 patches. I set aside 10gb on the back end of my harddrive for os x. I put all of this into diskpart command:

 

list disk

select disk [my disk number]

create partition primary id=af

list partition

select partition [my partition number]

active

 

I put in my os x dvd, reboot, and it comes up with the "missing operating system" error.

 

I'm not sure where to go from here. I couldn't find much information about it, so I was hoping you guys could help me out with it a bit.

 

Thanks.

You need to fix your MBR to be able to boot Vista or OSX. People seem to have success using the Acronis Boot Manager program.
