How can I dual boot Windows Vista & Leopard on same Hard Drive but different partition? - Page 3

What about GUID? How would I rectify that? Any way I can use MBR instead?

With Grub, can I configure Mac OSX to use MBR? I think this would work. What do you all think? Let me know, thanks.

in 10.5.2 R2 the installation of guid bootloader is broken, you have to install first without the bootloader and add it later by hand (check the wikis).

ur right

@Toroloco try this

boot into Vista install DVD and go to command prompt (repair install...) and type :

(I assume that Vista is the first partition of disk 0 and leopard is the second)

diskpart

select disk 0

select partition 1

active

exit

bootrec /RebuildBCD (answer yes to the question)

diskpart

select partition 2

active

exit

reboot

Well I tried that and it didn't do anything.

When I typed "bootred /RebuildBCD" it wrote that no windows installation found and didn't asked me anything in orde to reply "Yes".

I have made 4 time installation of Leopard, in case I did something wrong, but now I am sure that I didn't do anything wrong.

I will make a try now from Leopard installation DVD and the 'sudo" procedure and if I don't succeed again I will abandon the tries and stick as it is and maybe in the future format my drive and make fresh install of both systems.
