you can boot with the dvd up to the point when the installations starts
and choose via menue / bootupvolume (or something similiar) to boot from
a specific partition. -> using dvd as bootloader...

All you have to do is to put it in your dvd drive, boot from it and wait for the countdown to be finished. If your partition is active you should be able to boot on it.

If it's not active, follow the directions on the previous page. fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0, etc, so on and so forth. You may need to rewrite the MBR, which should (notice the should), put Windows under Darwin bootloader as well.

how to rewrite MBR? cos i dont get the darwin bootloader at all. and when i boot from the dvd, just gives me the option to get into the installer even after making the partition active.

if i make leopard partiton active and xp inactive.. i get "MISSING OPERATING SYSTEM"

Tried to rewrite MBR.. it didnt help.. i get no bootloader.. just boots into xp..

i booted into a bootable cd for active partition recovery (data backup) where it gives info on all partitions and for the leopard partition is said "error reading sector # 0 or boot sector is invalid"

i also booted into a bootable cd for partition table doctor and there i found this abt the partitions --

Partion cylinder Head Start
XP 0 1 1
leopard 1362 0 1

i hope this helps u to help me..

thanx..

ok wat if i select the single boot option?? even when i have xp already installed on my first partition?? do u think ill get the bootloader that way?? n should be able to boot into leopard???

Download Boot132.Burn a cd and use that to boot into leopard and then install chameleon. This helped me once.Make sure mac partition is active

Open terminal after installation of Chameleon
sudo -s
*enter your password*
fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0
p ( Check mac partition is active or not ) if not make it active by: flag 1
quit
reboot
