dscrap Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I am having some major problems getting my dual boot to work... My system: see signature... OSX image: Jas 10.4.8 / 10.4.9 update Install: Vista Business 32bit on disk0 partiton 1 OSX 10.4.8 on disk0 partiton 2 What I tried: OSX installed works fine, changed Vista partition to active, can boot into Vista... then did the following to get the Vista dual boot menu by adding chain0. bcdedit /copy {current} /d “Mac OS X”Copies information from Vista to use as basis for Mac OS X Boot Loader bcdedit /enum active Enumerates the selectable OS' from Vista's Boot Loader bcdedit /set {YOUR-GUID-HERE} PATH \chain0 Replace {YOUR-GUID-HERE} with the ID that is listed for the Mac OS X under the enumerated list Rebooted and saw OSX and Vista under the boot menu.... When i try to boot to OSX I get an error. File: \NST\nst_mac.mbrStatus: 0x000000e Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt So I then boot back into Vista with no problem. I then tried downloading EasyBCD 1.52 and using it. I first removed the OSX entry and then when I put it back, it points to /Deleted partition... Now I am lost. Any suggestions? If I change the OSX partion to active, I can boot into it, but loose Vista boot menu unless I change it back. Also can anyone point me in the right direction getting the Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection working? Thanks in advance.

tchow Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 The best way use Parallel Desktop to run Windows Vista. Also partition 10G space FAT format to store windows program. Intel Pro/100VE is working right now check this web to find out Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/49032-dual-boot-vista-business-and-jas-osx-1048-w-1049-update-not-working/#findComment-353147 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intel Pro/100VE is working right now check this web to find out I really do not want to run Vista as a virtual machine in OSX. This would defeat the purpose of having a powerful system to use with Vista, basically crippling my hardware under OSX. I don't need to run both at the same time, but want to dual boot. Is the Jas 10.4.8/9 not capable of this? I have dual booted with vista under older versions of OSX. Do you have a link for the Intel Pro 100VE nic to get it working? I have edited the kext as I have done in earlier versions of OSX but it doesn't work...
