garlog Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Got the same problem with kaly 10.5.1(EFI-MBR) and a pre installed windows xp. I solved the problem with the following solution: I went into the XP CD repair console and typed "fixboot", "fixmbr" then I booted XP and installed the Acronis OS Selector. Now i can chose XP or Leopard within the boot menu and both os boot fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garlog Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Try Ultimate Boot CD or Hirens Boot CD. There you will find tools to rebuild MBR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
