squanks Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Hi I need some help. Im trying to get OSX to boot but it just jumps back to the os selection screen when I try. I partitioned the drive 7.5 for OSX Converted partition to HFS+a and got the install to complete successfully Tried to use the chain0 approach (copied chain0 file to c:\ & edited boot.ini) It does not give me an error message or anything - just kicks me straight back to the os selection screen. Any ideas? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50507-help-with-booting-osx-86-1043/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweatyfish Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Are you trying to dual boot vista? I tried for hours to do that. For some reason, OSX and Vista do not want to share the same hard drive. I opted just to put them on seperate hard drives. Oh, have you tried using EasyBCD. That didnt even work for me but you could give it a try.

squanks Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Thanks for your reply. I'm not using Vista - just plain old XP. Is there a good site for EasyBCD instructions? I've never heard of it.
