moesasin Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Specs: JaS 10.4.7 AMD/Intel SSe2 and SSe3 Sony Vaio PCV-RS720G -Intel Pentium 4 530 3.GHz -200GB unknown make SATA hard drive -Intel 915G chipset -EVGA 6600 GS -1.5 GBs ram Ok here is my course of operations to lead me to not booting into OSx86 on my harddrive. Originally was running vista on a single partition, divided that into 3 seperate partitions keeping vista intact, then created a image of the vista partition for safety on one of the partitions. Then i installed OSx86 on the last unused partition. I let it install with the appropriate settings and left for a while. I came back later to see that it installed and was now in OS. I messed around for a while, which went great, then restarted after installing a macvidia driver. Only to see that "no operating system was found", and thats where i am, i have no clue why it won't boot now. Any help in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Guest Ramm Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Well, it could be that [1) You accidentally overwrote everything when you installed OS X (technically, OSx86 isn't an OS, so the computer can't see it), or [2) You screwed up your MBR. You can fix this by repairing your Windows Vista installation with the installation disc. Then install something like Acronis. Hope this helped.

moesasin Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 I don't think i overwrite anything when installing because all 3 partitions are still intact with all of the appropriate data on them. Since OSx86 is not an OS, then how do get my computer to boot from it? I would like to avoid Acronis because from what i've heard it doesn't like vista.
