I successfully installed 10.4 on a partition, with XP on the rest of the drive. But now I can't boot back into XP. Is there any way I can just delete the partition that osx86 is on, forcing my computer to boot into xp? Or if there's another way i can get into xp to delete the other partition, that would be great. Thanks in advance for any help at all.

Well.. I'm not sure..

 

-> Boot with WinXP Disk, make Repair.. Try it!

 

Otherwise..

 

 

-> Format that partition (windows) and reinstall it...

 

On Mac OS you can backup windows files.. I guess.. At least my windows disk is detected on Mac OS..

 

 

When you're at WinXP, install http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enh...s/EasyBCD.shtml

 

It's a program to switch OS.. I heard about it but i never tried.. You also can try Acronis OS Selector.. i guess is that name...

The second one is better than the first. More simple.

 

BOTH SOFTWARES ARE FOR WINDOWS. NOT FOR MAC.

Isn't EasyBCD only for Vista or is compatible with XP?
