Easy question, please help me -- vista winload.exe

[Shitan]

Ok, I have a question which has probably has a very simple answer, but I can't seem to efficiently find which one among the zillions of techniques proposed to use dual boots.

I used to have a triple boot (handled by GRUB) Ubuntu/Mac os/Vista which worked perfectly.

I loved ubuntu, but the thing is, almost everything I wanted to do with it, I can do with leopard + appropriate ports and tweaks. And while I'd love to keep three systems, it is too much work to constantly keep data synchronized and systems updated, so I'd rather go with just two, plus I need more space.

 

So, I erased ubuntu, saved my mac os drive, destroyed both partitions, recreated a bigger one, installed mac os on it. Worked like a charm. Darwin bootloader asks me which os to start with at the beginning.

 

Problem is, as usual, vista {censored} that its poor little winload is corrupted or something.

 

Usually, I'd just pop the vista cd, repair whatever it is that it wants to repair, and then I'd be stuck with a vista-only booting system, which I'd solve by putting an ubuntu live cd and repairing my grub. End of story.

Now, though, I don't use Grub anymore, and I certainly don't have an equivalent of a 'mac os live' cd. Plus, i don't know how to repair darwin bootloader after vista will {censored} it with its stupid repair.

 

So my question is: how should I proceed? Repair vista, and then what? How can i get darwin bootloader to be the master on board again?

To fix the darwin bootloader boot from the OS X disk and go to utilities and then terminal and type in: fdisk -u /dev/rdisk0 (0 is your disk number 0= 1st HDD, 1= 2nd HDD etc) and then type yes and reboot. It should work after that!
