tobal2 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 hi, this is a very good guide. http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Simple_Dual_Boot to restore xp64 boot you have to follow this guide but you have to flag the xp64's boot partition. may be you have to re-install macos.... this is an abstract just for your problem (commands without quotes): "type "fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0". The 0 is the number following the "disk" in disk0s2. Hint for the Noobs: replace the number, here 0, with YOUR OWN MacOSX disk number! Note: you will be in the sub command prompt of the fdisk program. -Then type "p", it will list the partitions of this HDD. Verify the number of your MacOSX partition just be sure that it will be your OS X system partition and not another you will make active. The active partition (here Win XP) will be identified with an "*". -Type: "flag 2" where the 2 is the partition # in the "disk0s2". Hint for the Noobs: replace the number, here 2, with YOUR OWN MacOSX partition number! This will mark your partition as the active partition for the boot sequence at PC start-up. -Type: "write" to write your changes (it will ask you if it's OK to set the changes on the next reboot, indeed, say Yes). -Type: "exit" to exit fdisk program. -Type: "exit" to exit Terminal. " -Close terminal with Command (ALT)-Q. " I hope it helps you. PS: sorry for my bad english too...
