I installed the recent release of Zephyroth's Leopard for AMD and everything went perfect,Leopard boots 100% and I have the dual boot option.But when I select the windows partition(I installed before Leopard), it gets stuck at the blue XP loading screen.I'm just wondering if there is a simple way to fix this?

yes you must make the Windows partition active and install easyBCD to dual boot with Leopard.

THX Zeph I'll give it a shot

K this is probably a dumb question, but seeing as how I can't access windows at all,how do I activate the windows partition using LEOPARD or DOS? I'm gonna need a point in the right direction zeph, btw I found easyBCD in 2secs. THX for everything.

GRUB bootloader also works according to what I researched in triple booting Mac, Windows, and Linux.

All I need to know now is the steps in order to make the windows partition Active. I can only do this using either Leopard or DOS.Any suggestions?

Boot with the DVD .
Press F8 then type -s.

If you only have one disk it's named rdisk0, if you have two rdisk0 and rdisk1, if you have three ... etc

type fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0
type print (it will show you each partition with their type)
type f X (where X is the Windows partition number, to make Windows partition active)
type update (to update the machine code)
type w (to write the change)
type q (to quit)

then reboot.

If all goes well you should be able to boot in Windows.

alternatively,
boot up windows CD, enter recovery console and type:

diskpart
list disk
select disk X [replace with whichever disk your xp partition is]
list partition
select partition Y [replace with whichever partition your xp is]
active

almost forgot..

easyBCD is for windows Vista

If you get your windows partition set back to active use the tboot method. You can search in google for it and find the file. You will add it to the partition with windows. Load up windows and edit the startup menu adding c:\tboot="OSX" at the bottom of it.
