x986123 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I did the Chain0 trick cuz i have xp installed and os x leopard on the other drive, i opened boot.ini, located in C:\documents and settings\myname, i put the chain0 file there, opened boot.ini and added these lines: C:\CHAIN0="Mac OS X" C:\CHAIN0="Mac OS X C:\CHAIN0=MAC OS X C:CHAIN0="Mac OS X" C:CHAIN0=Mac OS X C:\tboot="Mac OS X86" C:\chain0="Mac OS X86" i tried all of them and non of them booted into my leopard installation, it just goes straight to windows. I also tried putting the boot.ini file in my root folder (C:\) But when i boot, it says invalid boot.ini file, and boots to windows, i also have a chain0 file in C:\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hynesy Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 It is a little more complex than adding just those lines, here is a link about dual booting, it was made for Vista and OS X 10.4.10, but it worked for Leopard the same. http://coolblog.profit42.com/2007/07/03/up...ual-boot-guide/ see how you go with that and let me know. cheers Hynesy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CK Lee Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I think chain0 supports booting from different partitions of the same drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x986123 Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 how do i activate it? and its on a seperate hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graphic Design Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 For Active, You have 2 ways: 1- Use Gparted Live cd and by using hard drive manager set "Boot Flag" to the OSX partition (I've never succeeded with this way) 2- You must reinstall MAC OS! - Format Partition to Fat 32. - Go Control Panel ==> Administrative tools ==> Computer Management ==> Disk Management ==> Choose Partition You want to install MAC OS ==> "Mark Partition as active" - Okie, then U can install MAC OS as usual! Good Luck! Note: I suggest U to use Tboot, it's the same Chain0 but a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
