my1stmacisaHACK Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 here's the story: i've made 3 partitions OSX,XP, and a fat32(for my windows and os x sharing). my boot loader is showing all the 3 partitions during boot, how can i make the loader to display the OS X and XP partition only? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/63001-boot-loader/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapam Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I think Darwin bootloader is dynamic... thats what i feel but am not confirmed. I to have the same configuration. 3 partitions: XP | OSX | Fat32 I added the 3rd partition later but was added in the list.... so i believe it's not like other bootloader.

sultanoswing Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 What Bootloader are you using? GRUB can easily be configured to display whatever you want.

Vasfed Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 you can use win xp's bootloader(to replace darvin's use windows recovery console "fix boot" and "fix mbr") and chain0 for osx i do so, all works flawlessly my boot.ini looks like [boot loader] timeout=3 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn c:\chain0="Mac OS X 10.4.8" and here is chain0 chain0.rar - unpack into c:\ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/63001-boot-loader/#findComment-446820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
