BMikeG Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Hello, If you use the Vista boot loader: Put chain0 in your Vista partion (in root: C:\ ) Run cmd as administrator and type this commands: bcdedit /enum all | find "{ntldr}" If it returns identifier {ntldr} It's ok if not, type that: bcdedit /create {ntldr} /d "Mac OS X" bcdedit /set {ntldr} device boot bcdedit /set {ntldr} path \boot.efi bcdedit /displayorder {ntldr} /addlast and this commands: bcdedit /copy {ntldr} /d "Mac OS X" bcdedit /set {YOUR-GUID-HERE} device boot bcdedit /set {YOUR-GUID-HERE} path \chain0 bcdedit /displayorder {YOUR-GUID-HERE} /addlast Note that you need to replace YOUR-GUID-HERE with the actual GUID returned by the first command. To illustrate this, the following are the actual commands and responses. C:>bcdedit /copy {ntldr} /d "Mac OS X" The entry was successfully copied to {bcfa924e-07e0-11db-9d86-accf6fd346a1}. C:>bcdedit /set {bcfa924e-07e0-11db-9d86-accf6fd346a1} device boot The operation completed successfully. C:>bcdedit /set {bcfa924e-07e0-11db-9d86-accf6fd346a1} path \boot.efi The operation completed successfully. C:>bcdedit /displayorder {bcfa924e-07e0-11db-9d86-accf6fd346a1} /addlast The operation completed successfully.

Computer Guru Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Just want to point out: This bcdedit /set {ntldr} path \boot.efi Should be bcdedit /set {ntldr} path \chain0 ... Someone's copy 'n pasting too recklessly <g> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-prompt Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 What's your partitioning scheme? Be sure to note which partition is active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanbperiod Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 hmm, i just tried this, and i ended up editing my legacy (xp) entry in addition to the osx one.. i got xp back, but i get a chain0 error when i try to boot osx.. it says that the specified file cannot be found or is corrupt.. but i do have chain0 in my c:\ i tried to copy/paste my bcdedit configuration from the command window, but i can't figure out how to do it.. -- edit : so it turns out that the above method does not work for PCs (not sure why the posted put it up if he didn't test it) regardless, i think it might be possible if you can add a second legacy or second vista entry, and then name chain0 to boot. in theory it makes sense, but i can't figure out how to make a second legacy or vista entry. any help would be appreciated.
