So I installed Leopard on a seperate partition(F:/).I can't get Leopard to boot, I tried the C:/tboot and c:/Chain0 method's, both do not work..what am I doing wrong?

It looks like EasyBCD won't work under XP (w/o Vista bootloader?). Any other suggestions?

Wait until this Tuesday. Hopefully something will work out.

tboot and chain0 method dual boot Leopard/XP

I had the same problem on one of my machines, the way I solved it was to install Acronis OS Selector which picked it right up. I don't know why, but on both my desktops and my XPS M1330 I had no problem dual booting. It was just on my other HP laptop that I had to us Acronis. I imagine other simular programs would work too.
