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.

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.. |

Try Boot 132
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 Boot132 - http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=113288 Chameleon - http://chameleon.osx86.hu/static/som....11-src.tar.gz good luck ! |
