Hey guys,
after reinstalling OSx86 on my second harddrive with GUID I wanted to add OSx86 (Zeph's Leo 10.5.2 Rev1) to my Windows Bootloader again. But I couldn't get it work with the chain0 file. It says "chain0 error". I think its up to the fact, that I formatted my Leo-HDD to GUID this time. My hole HDD-Config looks like this:

HDD_IDE0: "Windows" on MBR << Boot-HDD and Windows Bootloader
---------------- Windows XP

HDD_IDE1: "Leopard" on GUID << second HDD
---------------- Leopard << wants to be shown in the Windows Bootloader
---------------- Recovery
---------------- Shared

Is there a parallel file to chain0 for GUID-systems or similiar?

Thanks in advance,
-crawle

You're right, EasyBCD can do this, but as far as I know it's only for Vista, isn't it?

If you have multiple harddrives it's probably easiest to simple use your BIOS boot device selector.

Install OSX with your Windows harddisk disconnected (to make sure OSX's bootloader gets written to the correct harddisk) and then you can simply hit F8 (in my case) during boot up and choose the HD you've got OSX installed upon.

Yeah, I've got multiple harddrives, but with my BIOS I can only set up the Boot-Priority, unfortunally not the Boot-Device on boot up.

But when I install the Vista-Bootloader, can I add partitions from another HD?
