Help ! Hi, set windows part. to active, and don t forget to add chain0 (you found that in root-directory of your osx installation DVD) in your root directory of your windows-installation (partition). works here for me.... if you set up in windows boot.ini you can select at windows(start) the os you want to boot. rene Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33697-dual-booting-xp-mac/#findComment-238318 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomkiwi Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 load your OS X DVD, open terminal: type: "diskutil list" Use this to find which partition number you have installed XP on, it should be 1, 2, 3 etc now type: "fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0" now type "f 1" (1 being the number of your XP partition). Type "write" Type "exit" restart your computer and XP will boot. Good luck, Tom Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33697-dual-booting-xp-mac/#findComment-238360 Share on other sites More sharing options...
