Installed fine: Chain boot error with Vista & OSX when booting up

[andyph666]

hello there,I have vista installed already. Just finished installing Macnubs OSX Tiger and it installed fine but I cannot boot into it. It gives me a chain booting error. I put the chain0 file in root and used bcdedit to make an entry in the vista boot loader but it gives me the Chain Booting Error. I also tried easybcd but that didn't work either. Any ideas? Oh and its installed on one of my ide harddrives. I had to create the partition in the apple disk utility . Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem-same error.

I have Vista already installed. Again same issue, same error.

I'm going to get 10.4.8 and try to install again.

If that doesn't work I'll image my Vista Partition and then install OSx86.

Doing this on my T60.

Late.

With chain0 method, you just have to activate yur HFS partition, put the chain0 file to the C:\ root of your WINDOWS partition, and add a line to the BOOT.INI windows file :

 

[Operating Systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="windows vista lalalala..........

 

C:\CHAIN0="Mac OS 10.4.10" ≤add this line

 

works fine here!

 

EDIT: okay, i don't own vista... i quad boot OSX, Win2000, 98SE, DOS... I just learned Vista has a new bootloader mechanism, anyway you'll easily find some info I think

 

e.g.:

Copy chain0 to the root of the Vista partition (mostly C:/)

 

12. Press WIN+R and type ‘cmd’. And type:

 

bcdedit /copy {current} /d “Mac OS X” (just leave the {current} there and don’t change it)

bcdedit /enum active

bcdedit /set [iD] PATH \chain0 (replace [iD] with you identifier)
