karishbhr Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I installed Vista on an MBR partition and OSX on a GUID (obviously seperate HD's) How can I dual boot them? EasyBCD doesn't work with GUID partitions Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81134-help-me-dual-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaemish Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I wasn't able to do it that way. I did MBR for both and then I got the XP bootloader and did what the link below told me to. It worked. I needed to make the Leopard partition Active and the Vista is not marked as Active (because it is on the same drive). http://www.digitmemo.com/articles/658/howt...ot-setup-guide/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81134-help-me-dual-boot/#findComment-575705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
karishbhr Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 I know its not easy but I don't want to lose my Leopard partition by switching to MBR so I'm looking for a better solution Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81134-help-me-dual-boot/#findComment-575806 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibishin Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I know its not easy but I don't want to lose my Leopard partition by switching to MBR so I'm looking for a better solution I'm using grub to boot Leopard, WinXP, and Gentoo Linux from GUID partition table. Dunno if it'll work but you could try grub4dos. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81134-help-me-dual-boot/#findComment-575855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theotheo Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 have you tried EasyBCD It runs just fine from vista, that is how I made my trippleboot system with guid partition table for osx on a separate disk. Inside easybcd you can choose the type of osx setup you're booting.

karishbhr Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 When you did that did you have Vista on a GUID and OSX on a GUID? I have vista on MBR and cannot get EasyBCD to boot the GUID drive Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81134-help-me-dual-boot/#findComment-576903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
