Default Re: Chain Booting Error

This is caused by either one of two problems.

1. Make sure you have the chain0 file in the root of your Windows drive, because this is where it looks for the file when trying to boot OSX.

2. Your OSx86 installation is broken. Try booting straight to your OSX drive, and see if it will boot. If not, you probably ruined something and need to reinstall.

1. It is in C: \
and I added C: \chain0="Mac OSX Leopard" to my bootloader.

2. I'm redownloading the new version of Kalyway to see if that will boot, if it doesn't work, I'll try Zeph's 10.5.2 again, if that doesn't work I'll try Zeph's 10.5.1.

I had 10.5.1 installed, but it didn't support my wireless card so I formatted, but now I'm downstairs using wired.

Default Re: Chain Booting Error

Usually the chain booting error is if you're using an XP or Vista bootloader. Instead, just boot directly from the hard drive that has OSX installed. If its on a single hard drive, then switch your active partitions before you shutdown whatever OS you're in. Then just switch it back to whatever you want to boot from.

Its easiest to have 2 hard drives.
