TimeMachine Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 My computer doesnt support USB boot, so I'm using windows bootloader boot from my external hardrive. I've put the chain0 in my C:/ and added a new line in my boot.ini, C:\chain0="Mac OS x86". But when I boot from OSX, it says "BOOT CHAIN ERROR". I've tested my external hardrive on my friends computer with USB boot and it worked. What do I do?

What do I do? chain0 boot method only works on the first harddrive if I recall correctly. You might be better off using a third party bootloader.

TimeMachine Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 Can you or someone tell were I can find these 3rd party bootloaders and directions on how to use them?
