    Hey, i was dual booting my system a long time ago (last fall), but had to make it an all windows machine for a while. Now I want to go back to OSX/XP....there was a great post that helped me make the OSX partition active after installing XP but I can't find it anymore...
    Basically install OSX86
    Then install XP
    Computer boots to XP...run command prompts in XP to make OSX partition active again...because XP screws with MBR...

    I can't find the post with those commands...can anyone help me?
    Thanks

    yes actually, I did but the myriad of options is too many, the reason I am asking here is because it was posted in this forum this past fall and I can't seem to find it here. It was easily the best and easiest one I have found........I wish I have subbed or book marked it......
    I was hoping someone here had used it as well...

    I haven't tried it myself (not using Windows) but I have read about the MBR making trouble. ;)

    With Chameleon 2, you can now even easier than before, choose which to boot from.
    Check this out:
    http://chameleon.osx86.hu/articles/cham ... rc1-is-out
    (Chameleon 2 is with GUI, so that makes it a lot simpler) :D

    I also found this, with a picture of how Chameleon 2 can look like. :)

    Regarding the thread you had read, was it maybe this?
    (I think yohko101 may be able to help you here in this quote - at least I hope so) :)
