bennyx8903 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 just finished installing 10.4.10, i dual booted before with 10.4.9, when i boot, darwin gives me the option of selecting XP, but now, darwin loads for less than a second and goes directly into OSX. I was using Acronis OS selector, but after installation the os selector gets deactivated, i need to go into XP to activate it...anyone helP me please? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scj312 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 You need to edit your boot plist to allow the bootloader to not go by so fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmkgd Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Messing with the boot options Also, you could have used the Acronis Recovery Disc that you created from your DiskDirector install; booting from this disc you can reactivate OS Selector (AOSS). But since you'll be able to boot xp from the darwin bootloader with the above edit of the boot.plist, you don't really need AOSS for such a simple task of dual-booting. It's your choice.
