[InVaNo]

hi... i'm an italian boy so i don't speak english very well.

 

i have windows XP on a partition and i want to install mac x86 on another partition.

 

if i'm going to install MAC x86 can i boot from windows??

how can i re-install windows bootloader and choose the boot betwen mac and XP??

if you already have winxp installed, just install mac x86 on another partition. Mac bootloader will automaticaly detect winxp install and it will give both x86 and winxp at boot promt.

 

after x86 install, it will restart. keep pressing F8 boot. you will get a boot promt afterwards. if you want boot promt always after reboot, read wiki and edit boot list.

 

FYI: this is all in the wiki.

 

you boot.plist might look like this:
