Antonius138 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hello all, I just recently installed the Kalyway distro of Leo and afterwards I installed Vista to dual boot. I installed EasyBCD 1.7.1 and choose to add the OSX entry, but on closer inspection the Booter loader path is: Bootloader Path: \NST\nst_mac.mbr The difference is that I formatted the hard drive with guid and used the EFI vanilla to load my Leo. Now I get the HFS+ error when I try to boot into Leo. Any ideas on what the bootloader path should be for a guid install? Thanks, A.

karishbhr Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I too am looking for the same thing. Any help would be appreciated Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/79024-easybcd-and-guid/#findComment-574881 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryll Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I don't think it works with GUID. I have 2 hard drives, both MBR, one with Vista(NTFS)/Storage(FAT32) and other one with Leopard(HFS+). I already have Vista installed, so before installing Leopard, I set hdd to FAT32 (to make sure it's MBR) and flagged it bootable with GParted Live CD, later formatted it to HFS+ with Disc Utility & installed Leopard. On this stage I could select which hard drive to boot pressing F12 during start up. Since it's not very convenient, I installed EasyBCD. Then I added entry for Leopard in Mac OS X (generic x86) and manually selected drive number 1 & partition 1 (since it uses second SATA port & only has 1 partition. Everything is working great, by default my computer automatically boots into Leopard; however, if needed I can boot into Vista.

macgirl Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 It could work if you install NeoGrub, then inside of menu.lst add the following lines title Mac OS X Leopard on GUID kernel (hd0,0)/NST/boot_v8 in the first line you can anything you want to display in the boot menu. on the sencond line "(hd0,0)" could be different, "hd0" = first disk then the other "0" is the first partition.

karishbhr Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Vista = Disk0s1 OSX = Disk1s2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/79024-easybcd-and-guid/#findComment-577007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 So Vista is on a MBR Disk and Mac on a GUID Disk? I guess that menu.lst has this: title MacSomething kernel (hd0,0)/NST/boot_v8 Dou you copied the boot_v8 into the NST folder?

karishbhr Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Should I use the one I have installed or just redownload it? Does it make a difference? And can you please tell me what my menu.lst should look like?

macgirl Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 menu.lst should lok like this: title Mac kernel (hd0,0)/NST/boot_v8 But you need to EDIT it, when you install NeoGrub it is empty. You can also put more OSes there, read GRUB manual. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/79024-easybcd-and-guid/#findComment-577617 Share on other sites More sharing options...
karishbhr Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I did everything you said... when I chose OSX in Neogrub I got this message (or something close) -Going with default HD at 80 When I did that it looped back and took my back to the BCD load... so I chose Neogrub again -Went with second HD at 81 as it suggested When I did that it said it couldn't find my apple.boot.plist Any ideas?
