The VeeMon Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Hello VikSaw your dual boot post. Using vista boot, is it possible to add XP or XP64? I actually tried this by first installing OSX, then XP to C: and Vista to D:. Changed boot.ini to D: for C:. Followed your blog the rest fo the way. could dual boot vista and XP but could not boot Mac OS. Any experience with triple booting ? I'd like to avoid Acronis if possiible. using JaS 10.4.6, PATA hard drive. All partitions primary. thanks in advance. tbart NOTE: FIRST READ COMPLETE POST THEN ATTEMPT TO DO ANYTHING OTHERWISE U'll BE LOST!!! Hey tbart... Actually ur post is not pretty clear...well, below is what i could extract from this: you have: C:\XP D:\ VISTA and OS X somewhere else... now you need not to copy boot.ini to your D:\ drive... just in Vistaboot give the address of legacy Os as C:\....and in boot.ini file add the Chain0 file location. Chain0 should be in C:\(XP) not D:\ this time... now reboot... now ur first bootloader screen should be like: XP VISTA... now if you enter in VISTA ...vista should be loading... To enter into OS X...enter in XP then you should have another boot loader screen ...showing:: XP OS X... now choose whatever u like... hope this will work... WEll this was a quite creepy work to beer two bootloaders separetly... so what can be done is: START OVER::i mean forget about whatever i said earlier...Don't make any change in C:\boot.ini...all files should be in the orignal state.. Do two entries of Legacy OS in Vista BOOT... one as C:\XP Another as D:\ MAC OS X download boot.zip posted by me in earlier dual boot discussion. extract and put both files, boot.ini and ntldr in ur D:\(Vista Partiton). put chain0 in D:\ itself.. Now edit D:\boot.ini according tour partition table...i mean in ur case(VISTA IN D:\) change C:\chain0 to D:\chain0....DON't MAKE ANY NEW ENTRY!!! All done... Hope this will resolve your problem... Please Get back to me if any problem persists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
