djl7780 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Got a 60GB hard drive, vista installed first on 40GB, then install leopard on the 20GB partition. Install went well, rebooted and it will not boot OSX without the DVD in. I booted into vista and used easybcd to set up the dual boot. Also in easybcd I did the repair for Hfs+ partition. Which I got that error if I mad the OSX partition active via the terminal.. I boot the machine, get the dual boot screen option, but no leopard, unless the DVD is in. I am so close, can someone please help me. Also I used iAtkos v1.0i. Machine is a Dell Latitude. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Skyper Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 From all i know is you need to set the LEOPARD startup disk as active from the Utility menu.

djl7780 Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 From all i know is you need to set the LEOPARD startup disk as active from the Utility menu. I am not sure I understand, I went through the Darwin bootloader during setup and installed the preinstalled compiled EFi? Is this the same thing you are talking about wigworm? Skyper When I do that and reboot, it gives me a HFS+ partition error...

Hagar Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 You're missing the bootloader code in the boot record of the OS X partition, so BCD has nothing to chainload to, if that makes any sense. (terminology may be off, I'm talking about the secondary boot thang :censored2: ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/80100-a-little-dual-boot-help-please/#findComment-567477 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wigworm Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 anyone? Skyper and I were talking about two different things. But make sure you got both working before you can boot Leopard successfully. I assume you know the installation procedure for iATKOS. When you install the darwin bootloader, make sure you give correct disk number and partition number. Your disk number should be 0 and your partition number should be 2 (Because you have one disk only and it's the second partition with Vista being the first). Also, to flag your partition bootable, run this in terminal: fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX (where X is your disk number, here should be 0) update (here update your MBR table) flag 2 (flag your partition bootable, "2" means it's the second partition) w (write the boot code) q (quit) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/80100-a-little-dual-boot-help-please/#findComment-567853 Share on other sites More sharing options...
