HFS+ Error

So I have a triple boot:

 

XP Pro SP2 (NTFS disk0r1);

Vista Ultimate (NTFS dsk0r2);

OSX86 10.4.8 AMD/Intel SSE2/SSE3 Jas (HFS+ disk0r3)

 

If XP is active I get Vista bootloader showing:

 

OLD VERSION OF WINDOWS (XP)

Windows VISTA ULTIMATE

 

I pick XP and all is well.

 

If VISTA is active I get Vista bootloader showing:

 

OLD VERSION OF WINDOWS (XP)

Windows VISTA ULTIMATE

 

I pick XP and all is well.

I pick Vista and all is well.

 

If OSX is active I get HFS+ partition error.

To fix this error I found this guide:

Quote:

In following, I will assume we have one HDD with two partitions: part#1 = OSX and part#2 = Vista

 

1. Boot off OSX dvd disc in single user mode (press F8 and type -s)

2. At single user prompt

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0

flag 1

update

write

quit

4 reboot

 

At this point OSX should boot up, just like prior to Vista installation.

1 In a terminal window,

su root

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0

flag 2

quit

2 reboot

 

Vista will say "\Window\system32\winload" corrupted, and it will tell you to insert Vista disc and recover.

Follow directions from Vista and recover, then reboot. Check Vista boots and works fine.

 

1. Boot off OSX dvd disc for single user one last time (press F8 and type -s)

2. At single user prompt

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0

flag 1

quit

3. reboot

 

What I'd like to have finally is:

 

OSX active showing:

 

Windows XP

Windows Vista Ultimate

OSX

 

Can someone clear up this guide for me because here's how I get to my HACK currently:

 

Press F12 to boot from optical drive with 10.4.8 DVD.

Let sit and eventually enters my installation.

 

If I try to press F8 and type -s then press ENTER it loads OSX.

How can I fix the rest of this issue? Someone on IRC suggested to use TERMINAL.

 

Sorry for being noob but trust me, once this is fixed you won't regret helping me.

I'm bringing something big to the OSX86 scene...wanna know what? Ask Semthex!

Problem solved.

 

The guide should/could have been slightly more clear and said this:

 

After flagging OSX partition and fixing Vista boot, fix XP boot with installation disk: FIXBOOT

 

Then set OSX active and reboot.

 

All fixed.
