Only the problem is the when I try to boot the MAC does not boot without the MAC DVD. The darwin does not load up . When I put in the DVD In the DVD Drive and restart the computer... Mac Boots up to the Boot up to Apple Desktop . these are the steps which I have performed this is how I installed the triple boot 1. partition the harddrive like this C - Vista (Vista OS files D - Vista Program files E - Windows XP F - Windows Xp Program files G- Mac OS X Leopard H - Windows Vista and Windows XP Swap Files rest of the partition 1. First installed Windows XP to E drive 2. Then Installed windows Vista to C Drive 3. Then Installed the mac OS X to G drive (Vanilla Kernel and EFI boot MBr select ) (PS I have tried formatting the whole hard with MAC OS X ... . Same thing is happen Unable to boot thru Darwin thru Harddisk . When the Installation disk is placed in dvd Drive then I am able to boot desktop ) 4. I mark the C drive partition active then I am able to boot to the Vista ... Ntldr missing and winload.exe missing message got but I fixed them 5.

maverickds Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 have you tried to use the vista bootloader(info on other threads) to get osx going. or use a third party bootloader like acronis or one on hirens boot cd? I havent even started to install osx but have figured out what peoples problems are kinda:) anyway if im wrong please correct me. try that especially the boot.ini method in vista or xp.
