Tmacfan4321 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Because you guys already have both installed, just burn yourself a Part Magic Live cd. Just type that into google, get the iso, burn it, and boot the cd. Once it boots, there should be a series of buttons in the bottom right hand corner, and the button furthest to the left will be a partitioning tool. Right click on the Leo partition and look for "flagging options" or something like that. Click on flagging options and check the box next to boot. Reboot the computer and see if it works. That's what worked for me.

budelight Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 if you flag a partition doesnt that set it at active? because if i set it as active i still need to have the cd in to boot. Thanks for the reply though. im going to try it anyways.

Tmacfan4321 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 It will most likely work, I just can't get Vista to even install. It is really pissing me off. It tells me that the free space that I allotted it is not suitable for it. Do I need to format it into NTFS with Gparted?

budelight Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 you should be able to install it on a FAT, are you using boot camp?

budelight Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Thanks for the tboot idea, but it did not work. i followed your directions exactly. Oh well...the only way i can boot is via the disk and marking the appropriate partition as active each time i guess.
