Hi,

I am using Leo4all V3 10.5.2 with Vista dual boot (Ntldr, Chain 0, boot.ini, tboot at root of c)

I used shrink option from Vista to create 10 GB space for installation of OSx86.

After that i decided to make one more drive for installation of more Mac softwares (Office, photoshop etc)

So i took out some more space from other Vista drive ..around 15 GB.

I booted to Mac, and using disk utility i formatted that space with Mac OS x journeled.

But after reboot it asked me to "INSERT DISK , BOOT FAILURE".

I repaired with Vista Installation dics in just 2 mins. and booted to Vista. I saw in Disk Manager that This newly created 15 GB partition is set to (Active, Primary partition) , The old 10 GB where my OSx86 is installed is (Primary partition).

I just rebooted my system, and now i can go into OS x. OS x shows all partition properly, including the new 15 GB.

But in Vista it is showing the main OS X installation drive as (Primary), the second OS X 15 GB drive is shown as (Active , Primary) and Vista is (Active, Primary, ......sum more txt )

I have no problem in booting, i can boot selecting OS, but this secondary OS X Partition is shown as Active in Vista. So i am concerned. Is is appropriate ?

Also Inside OS , patching of Marvins utility not taking place. I put patcher , cpuid.txt files in ROOT folder, then run command as

mount -uw /
./patcher ./cpuid.txt

But now they are not getting patched. Saying 0 files patched.

Please help, can any1 tell me if is it because of that Active second OS x partition ??

How to go about Marvin's AMD utility..please help
