I personally have use with GUID + EFI.

GUID is more improved than MBR, for example one can make & edit partitions without loosing / having to delete data!

Here's how to fix MBR boot without EFI:

In my case, it would be rdisk0s1, first HDD, and first partition, on which leopard has been installed,
which you need to make bootable. You can also check this in the Disk Utility.

Hit enter after each terminal line to execute the command. //


1 -> Launch DVD
2 -> At boot prompt, type -s (single user mode)
3 -> Type:

fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX
update
f 1
w (yes)
q


4 ->
cd /usr/standalone/i386

./startupfiletool -v /dev/rdisXsX ./boot (X is your partition)


5 ->
mount -uw /
mount -t hfs /dev/diskXsX /Volumes


6 ->
bless -device /dev/diskXsX -setBoot -verbose

7 -> reboot, without any dvd inserted.
