Hi jing-jang, welcome to NST.

Which bootloader have you got working?

 

[jing-jang]

hi guru
I`m using vista bootloader
I have downloaded c:\windows\boot from my frends windows vista and then I install and configure it like in this article How to: Install the Vista Bootloader on Windows XP The NeoSmart Files
but I can boot into XP, but not into OSx

edit: when I try to boot into OSx it gives me "Chain booting error"

There is the OS X specific area. But to me it sounds as if the Darwin loader for OS X is bad.

Do you have OS X on a separate hard drive?

 

[jing-jang]

no it`s on the same drive, but when I change boot partition via diskpart in windows and reboot, i can boot into OS x

to Makaveli213: yes, I was thinking abou it, so I already reinstalled OS x but nothing happend

You should be able to use NeoGrub to make it work.

Sample config file:

rootnoverify (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1

Just replace (hd0,1) with the right value for the OS X partition.

Hi guru,

well I configure neogrub as you say, but when i pick up neogrub to boot it says something that neogrub can`t find proper windows partiotion etc etc etc

I don`t know if this is everything that I sholud write to menu.lst

edit: it actually says that windows bootloader is corrupted and I shold repair it via windows CD, then some error codes and error file neogrub.mbr... I try to reinstall neogrub and edit again

 

[mqudsi]

Then it's not (h0,1). You need to figure out the right values for your setup.

 

[jing-jang]

yeah i know, it`s hd(0,3),

I have reinstalled neogrub and it works- it boots, but then it shows some message about grub4dos - i can`t read it because it jumps to another screen, and there is something like this:

grub>

and it`s a comand line

in the past I was trying to dual boot with gub4dos but then i uninstalled it, i don`t know how to get it out from system

so when I run neogrub, this all happen, and I need to restart system, Then i can boot OSx because hd(0,3) is set as activ, and I need to fix it again via qtparted and sed hd(0,1) active to gt into bootloader and boot windows

 

[mqudsi]

bah... i'm missing a line:

rootnoverify (hd0,3)
makeactive
chainloader +1
boot

 

[jing-jang]

still the same

this is the message
