Hi Tomika, welcome to NeoSmart Technologies

What error message do you get when you pick the OS X entry that EasyBCD created in your bootloader?

Press a key during the 3 seconds.. You should get a boot menu.

2. Chose Mac OSx on tab under fill out the tab and press Submit and then Save

Thanks for the feedback, Tom... I had read somewhere about the F8 thing, but couldn't for the life of me locate that info

Boot from your Vista DVD and use the advanced options | repair options to access a command prompt and type this in

bootrec.exe /fixmbr
bootsect.exe /nt60 all

That should do the trick
