I was trying to install Itakosv1.0 my Acer Aspire Laptop. The install was going smooth up to the point where I have to copy the Chain0 file from the CD to the windows root partition. I thought i did this correctly but when i get to the boot menu where it lists Vista and Mac OS X and click mac it starts to load and then says something like this:

 

Chain booting error.

 

Then nothing happens. So what i need to know is what does this mean and how Do I fix it so u can boot into mac. thanks in advance.

Chain booting error comes, when there is chain0 in C:\ but not defined in the boot.ini.

Try to get into system with "safe mode" of windows.

For further information use the SEARCH function!

 

According to the chain0 itself:

 

You have to copy CHAIN0 to C:\ because there should be the boot.ini (its hidden)

then you just have to write into the boot ini:

 

C:\chain0="Mac OS x86" /fastdetect

 

 

all in all it should be like this in the boot.ini:

 

[boot loader]

timeout=30

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Media Center Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

C:\chain0="Mac OS x86" /fastdetect

 

So just put C:\chain0="Mac OS x86" /fastdetect under the operating system, which is already in boot.ini (in my case its Windows XP Media Center Edition"

and then it has to work :P
