for separate HDs, check out my How-To guide.

for the same HD, we will need more info... like what your partition layout is, what partition table scheme it is in (GUID or MBR), what you want to boot ad default, etc.

it just sounds like the bootloader isn't being noticed for OS X so you can't boot unless you use the install DVDs bootloader (letting it timeout). This is an easy fix by reinstalling the bootloader (usually chameleon).

i'm using my 1st hdd (disk0 it is). on primary partition was windows xp, on 2nd partition vista. osx was installed on the last drive first but now i've installed osx to primary partition (c:\), i thought it might fix but it did not, same problem even now. as for using patches or something like that, i'm totally new to that, don't know how to use a patch with install dvd. image will show u my current hdds in diskutil.

currently i'm running kalyway 10.5.2, i want to run iatkos 5i 10.5.5, but it seems that there are ata driivers missing in dvd (i think) bcoz kalyway 10.5.2 picks both of my sata hdds but iatkos 5i gives infamous error "Still waiting for root device".

it does not matter, what to run but bootloader problem is my main prob.

can u plz explain in detail, how to fix this.
