handyandy164 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 OK... I have installed JaS 10.4.8 SSe2/SSe3 Intel/AMD w/ PPF1. I cant get it to boot, it says Disk boot error. Insert system disk and press enter. I was told that a method called Chain 0 might help... I know to put it in the root of C: (which is my vista partition) But, when I try to enter in the bcdedit commands, (with macdrive disabled because when its enabled, i cant pick up the HFS+ partition) it cant find and partitions in my 20GB disk My config: Acer Aspire Intel P4 2.8GHz 786MB Ram Intel 82865G Intergrated Graphics (But Im using an nVidia GeForce FX 5200 because the 82865G is in Black and white...) 160GB Seagate Barracuda (With XP/Vista Dual-Booted Properly - NTFS - 2 Partitions - C: = Vista, H: = XP Pro SP2) 20GB Seagate 'something!' (With Mac 10.4.8 - Single HFS+ journaled partition...) Thanks.. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jed717ph Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 i believe chain0 is applicable when you are using the default Windows Bootloader. As far as I remember, you have to put the chain0 file from a DVD Of OSX86 (JaS or virtually any) to the partition where the XP is currently installed. Then edit the boot.ini and add a new OS on the list. Make sure that your XP Partition is the active bootable partition. Use Norton PartitionMagic through bootable CD.. voila.

Yes, I am using the default bootloader. I have vista installed on C:, XP on H: and Mac on G: I have OS X on the list and when I select it it says, Chain Booting Error. XP partition being the active boot? How..? Thanks so far... Hopefully we can get this thing to work... -Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
