Diskpart
Select drive # (# could be 0 or 1 and you can see this using list disk)
Select partition # (select vista partition number same way like above using list partition)
active
exit
bootrec /rebuildbcd
You may have to type Y to accept changes.
Diskpart
select drive #
select partition # (kalyway partiton)
active
exit

Now you can boot from darwin both vista and kalyway.

no, this is not the problem, after install, it's kalyway, which is not booting. when i install kalyway, restart and vista loads, it seems that osx installation does not write itself to mbr, am i correct?

about the other thing, during kalyway installation, in disk util under partition there's option button which allows to choose between guid or mbr, but this option button is only available when we are using disk utility to create partitions, am i right?

now i'm going to try with 1st hdd using 2 primary partitions 1 for xp and other for osx. before i was using only 1 primary for xp and was installing osx to logical partition.

i've tried installing osx to primary with only 1 os on the hdd & that was osx, but kalyway 10.5.2 did not boot from even primary partition, it did not write itself to mbr. and that is the problem.
