antaholics Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I had a triple boot system as follows: Partition 1: Windows Recovery (OEM) Partition 2: Vista Home Premium (OEM) 32-BIT Partition 3: Leopard Partition 4: Extended Partition: Partition 5: Windows XP Partition 6: Data Everything was working fine... but I tried installing Vista Ultimate (64-BIT) and now OS X won't boot. Originally it gave me HFS+ Partition error, and I fixed it by booting off a Leopard DVD into single user mode and doing: fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 flag 3 update write quit reboot which fixed the partition table (it was messed up after Vista install), and then I used Vista DVD to recover Vista booting, and used EasyBCD to get the multi-booting going. But now when I boot up OS X, it boots up, then part-way through booting it starts the shutdown sequence with no error message. Attached is a picture. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Espionage724 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Did you change your hadware or anything? If not, i would try going into a leopard install disc, going into terminal and restoring it's boot loader. fdisk -u /dev/rdisk0 (may differ for ur system not sure) fdisk -f mbrboot /dev/rdisk0 (may also differ from ur system) Then if it's restored, you may be able to select which partition u want to boot into by pressing a key at the darwin bootloader. If you can't select another partition, then just try booting mac os x again and see if it gives that error.

antaholics Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Thanks for the reply! I can get into Darwin fine after using fdisk update, but after choosing my OS X partition, it starts to boot up like normal, then starts a shutdown sequence half way through. I didn't change any hardware... Edit: When I boot into a DVD and try repair Disk, I get this message: Started verify/repair volume (filesystem) on disk disk0s3 Leopard Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume Checking Extents Overflow file Checking Catalog file [color="#ff0000"] Invalid node structure[/color] Rebuilding Catalog B-tree The volume Leopard could not be repaired Error detected while verifying/repairing volume disk0s3 Leopard: filesystem (... didn't catch the rest on my camera) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/95511-vista-64-bit-killed-leopard/#findComment-680996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
