I'm trying to install OS X after Vista and dual boot them as I already have everything in place with Vista. I have OS X installed, but I can now no longer boot into Vista. I don't care which boot loader I use, so long as I can boot into either OS. Right now I pretty much am at a stand still as to what to do.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I ended up using this guide: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=6890

 

The process is basically getting the Vista bootloader reloaded, getting into Vista, and then running EasyBCD (like you said) to add the entry for OS X. The process I had to go through to get to that point was ridiculous and was due to poor decisions I've made in the process of running the machine.

 

FDisk can't make logical drives into active partitions! Acronis Disk Director saved my day and allowed me to get back into Vista. Hiren's Boot CD is a life saver and should be a part of your OSX86 toolkit!

 

Thanks for your assistance though!
