paOol Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 whenever i would install tiger 10.4.8, it would boot right into osx, and i couldnt get back on windows. i had to end up booting from ubuntu 7.10, installing it over the current osx partition so that i would have grub working. and then choose windows from the grub menu. lol >_> Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69773-how-do-you-boot-back-into-windows/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synaesthesia Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 You can use Darwin bootloader, or windows bootloader (chain0 method), or a 3rd party bootloader, such as GRUB, and others.

PGHammer Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I use the BIOS switch (which happens to be F8) to switch between Vista/Ubuntu (200 GB SATA HD) and Leopard (80 GB PATA HD). No problems here. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69773-how-do-you-boot-back-into-windows/#findComment-496669 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsl Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 whenever i would install tiger 10.4.8, it would boot right into osx, and i couldnt get back on windows.i had to end up booting from ubuntu 7.10, installing it over the current osx partition so that i would have grub working. and then choose windows from the grub menu. lol >_> 1. Once you are in Windows, in command mode type "diskpart" 2. You can "list disk" then "select disk n" (n=current use disk number) 3. Then "list partition" "select partition n" (n=partition number for Windows) 4. Then "active" "exit" 5. After reboot you should boot to the Windows at first 6. You need use "chain0" method to boot OSX86 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69773-how-do-you-boot-back-into-windows/#findComment-1237451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
