I heard, that Boot Camp is only a Boot Manager for Mac OS X. So I wondered, if there isn't a method to install Boot Camp on an Zeph-AMD-OSX - but without EFI. I have following hard disk structure:
<b>{First Hard Disk}</b> - 400GB, ATA, disk0
-- ... my Leopard Harddisk with a few partitions for data, recovery etc.
<b>{Second Hard Disk}</b> - 140GB, ATA, disk1
-- {First Partition} - Windows
-- {Second Partition} - (an old) Tiger (I'll uninstall it anyway)
So am I able to install Boot Camp as a Boot Selector?
By the way: Anyway I'll reformat and reinstall the Windows HD ...
Greetz,

Alright
But I can install Windows again and add my Leopard to the Windows Bootloader, can't I?
Alright. I installed Windows XP Prof.
Actually I'm in the System Config. Following file:
[see attachment]
So what do I have to type into the file, that my Partition "Leopard" from my second HD appears in the Windows Bootloader? If possible set as "default"...

Ok, I got it to the boot list by adding a chain0 entry and copying chain0 to the Xp-Root. But when I boot from the second HD or when I choose the "OSX 86" in win bootloader, it says "NTLDR is missing". Windows runs perfectly.
Please help, I don't want to "lose" my lovely Leopard

Mh... but can I back up my Leopard partition maybe and install it from it?
Alright. But can I also backup my installed programms like office etc.?
@roisoft: EasyBCD is only for Vista.
Ok guys, I got it work. I reinstalled Leopard ...
Then I selected in my BIOS "First Boot Device" my Windows HD. So it appears the Windows-Bootloader and I can choose between Mac OSX and Windows Vista. That's great, isn't it?

if you have windows installed download transmac/macdick etc and save your data on the windows hard drive
