^GoJo^ Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Start on Windows install disk, then repair boot, after that, your computer will directly boot on Windows. If you want to have the chameleon loader, then you need to change partition boot flag, i think you can do that with diskpart (win+r, diskpart, select disk, select partition, active).

You mean startup repair? That doens't work. It gives an error at the end.

eido Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 First boot in OS X, and using terminal mark the windows partition as active, THEN reboot and boot from the windows disc, and use startup repair, it should work then. Afterwards you can either use Windows, or reboot and use OS X to set whichever partition you need active Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/224664-cant-boot-windows/#findComment-1509062 Share on other sites More sharing options...

eido Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 assuming youre in snow leopard, open up terminal and enter these commands: sudo -s (enter password) fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 p f X (where X is the number of your windows partition - or whatever partition you want to mark active) w y Then quit Terminal and reboot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/224664-cant-boot-windows/#findComment-1509587 Share on other sites More sharing options...

eido Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 now that youve run setup repair, you should be able to set the OS X partition as active again without causing problems. If you still have a bootdisc of some kind, boot into OS X and do the same procedure as before but mark the OS X partition active. Otherwise, I know theres a way to do it from cmd.exe in windows, but I don't know the commands Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/224664-cant-boot-windows/#findComment-1510316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
