when you partitioned your hdd did you pick GUID and when in the installed did you pick GUID bootloader?
same goes for did you pick MBR when you partitioned your hdd and picked MBR bootloader during installation?

The chain0 method does not work in this release. It was told and confirmed. Consider EasyBCD instead.

WinLinMac01 i am using chain0 method for my 10.5.2 rev.2 installation and it's working fine. I used it on 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 rev.1. It was working everytime, manually added chain0 to vista boot loader.

Devil In Disguise, what is your system configuration?

DFI Lan Party NF4 ULTRA-D
AMD 3000 Venice
160 GB SATA Seagate
256 MB 7600GT EVGA
1GB Corsair XMS

i did select DUAL BOOT - Windows Bootloader in the installer.. plus i just reinstalled and same issue..

EasyBCD is for vista.. ive got XP installed currently..

is there an issue with selecting the dual boot - windows boot loader in REV2 ????

ok wat if i choose the single boot - guid boot loader? can i still boot back into xp later by using a boot manager??

Chances are, that will not work. But heres an idea, install Windows XP first, and then on another partition or hard drive, install Mac OS X. From there type the following, and you should have a dual boot configuration regardless.

Boot DVD with F8 -s
type:

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0
flag 1
write
quit
reboot

and when the Darwin bootlioader appears you should have two options when you press ENTER--> Look something like this,

1). MacintoshHD(Whatever the name of your Leopard partition is)
2). Windows NTFS (Windows XP or Vista)

You can select either partition and boot into your desired operating system.

There you have it, a dual boot configuration.

Let me know how it goes. - Cheers! =)
