Its an OS on a disk, you just burn it and boot it up, and you will be at a similar windows like interface with everything you need on the CD.

What i used, is Gparted Live CD, It has this nifty utility, forgot what it is called, but its the first one on the utility list, I had to search the sectors within the HD, once, then after it finished, i had to search deeper for it to find all of my partitions, it did, so i set my main boot partition and my primary ones. Created the MBR for my Vista partition. Loaded the Restore disk, and it booted normally.

It took me ages to find that out. But it has helped a lot!

I did it! I used the windows vista cd instead of XP, i chose the repair computer option..then chose terminal, from there I typed..
diskpart
list disk
select disk X (X= # of primary drive)
list partition
select partition Y (Y= Drive installed primary OS on ie. XP/Vista)
active
exit

CLICK RESTART and that's it boots into XP.

I'm just wondering whats the best bootloader for XP to get back to Leopard?

yes i should've mention that i did that on vista, not sure if it works on xp (and it's not)

for xp bootloader maybe you can use that chain0 technique (there's a tutorial on wiki).. haven't tried it on leopard though.. works on tiger

i never found anything as easy as easyBCD that work for XP

do a google search for the tboot method. You will find the file you need and how to set it up.

the chain0 method is easy too.

What would be the proper chain0 entry in the boot.ini file?I tried C:\chain0="Leopard"
XP is installed on the disk0s1..leopard is the thrid partition on the drive(0s3/Leopard) = C:/windows and F:/Leopard
What should my entry be?
btw I download tboot..placed it in my C:/ drive..in the boot.ini I entered c:\tboot="Leopard".
Any suggestions?

ya thats all you should need NdR23. tboot is just a modified version of the chain0 method that allows booting of more partitions. So just place tboot in the root of your C drive and add that entry and when you boot up you should get an OS select menu.

I get a library/system/... error when I try to boot Leopard using tboot.This is what my boot.ini looks like

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
c:\tboot="Leopard"

what am I doing wrong?

Thats what it should look like, /library/system doesn't even exist. Maybe you got a corrupt tboot file or something. try this one.
