Problems with triple boot

[Kinseek]

I`m having some trouble configuring my triple boot. My HD is partioned as following:

1. Windows XP

2. Windows Vista

3. Mac OS 10.5 Leopard

 

Leopard would not boot until I ran a script from the install DVD, which deleted and rewrote the MBR.

After that Leopard would boot nicely. I figured I could simply restore windows functionality by running the

Vista install DVD startup repair, but that would not do anything. I manually ran diskpart from the DVD and set

"active" to partition 1 (the windows XP one, which has the boot files proper). I rebooted but got a file missing

error from all three boot options, tried the vista startup repair again, which did some tinkering and then I could boot

up Vista, which was a jumbled mess of DLL error since drive letters had been rearranged and I was pretty

much forced to reinstall windows again. Basically Vista had become D: while first time around it was C. When you install Vista after XP, it will normally configure itself to be C:, so that both OS` are C: when booted, the way it should be.

 

Upon reinstalling both windows`  again, I used EasyBCD to add a boot option for leopard,

but it just instantly reboots back to the vista bootloader (which was different before I launched the script from the leopard install dvd, where beforehand i would get the chain error).

 

Anyone know whats up?

hit f8 right after selecting leopard then move down.

 

you probably can edit the darwin bootloader to fix this problem.
