2Shea Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Okay, I installed Leopard last night, and it works great! Before having leopard, I was running Vista. Now I installed Leopard on a different HDD. So Leopard is going great, but now I can't boot to Vista. Basically when I choose Vista's HDD to boot from, it goes in and I just have a blinking cursor on the screen... What can I do to fix this? Should I install some bootloader through OSX? and if so, which one and where can I get it? Thanks very much for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schweppes Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 You have to do a list of your hardware, more details...how did you install Leopard, what version (ToH 10.5.0, iATKOS 10.5.1, Brazilmac, Kalyway 10.5.1, etc)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Shea Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 Sure, sorry about that. Anyway I used Kalyway to install, and as I said it's all worked 100% perfectly, OSX is fine. I just can't boot into Vista anymore. The install of Vista is fine, I checked it w/ the install disc, its just a booting problem. I have : ASUS P5GC-MX X Series Mobo Integrated Azalia Audio, Ethernet. GeForce 8800 GTS Intel Core 2 Duo 2.1 ghz 2 GB ram Vista Ultimate OSX Leopard 10.5.1 Kalyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluedakar Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Bump. Just need a bit of help please. I would first look at the bios settings you changed to make Leopard work and set them back to the previous state. Obviously you want to copy your current Leopard bios settings before making any changes. Also you could always select "load the default settings" in your bios and try that.

Ludvig M Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Strange that you cant boot in Windows, when you have installed Leopard on another harddrive. I've installed Vista on HDD1 and Tiger on HDD2 and it works fine. I only choose which harddrive I want to boot from and it works fine. Maybe reinstall Windows? When you have Leopard and Win on separate harddrives it should work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeybhoy Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Boot from your VISTA DVD and go to System Recovery Options -> StartUp Repair. I had to do this to when OSX86 hosed the bootloader. Took about 10 mins and Vista was fine again. Had to use Chain0 to get the OSX86 working again once I'd done this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac lover... Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 does vista use Chain0 like win xp? i didn't knew that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anynigma Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Its also possible to go into your bios and change the boot order of your hard disks. Change it so that whichever hd has vista on it comes first, and you should now boot into vista without an option to boot into leapard...switching the priority back should return you to osx, im still trying to figure out how to get either the xp, vista, or darwin bootloaders to see 2 disks and not have MBR vs GUID issues...
