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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
