So, I need help.
I've installed both OS X 10.5.8 and Windows XP on my mac mini. I can boot from each partition if I select the OS to boot from before a system boot.
However, I can't get the bootcamp boot selector (by holding down the option key) or the rEFIt boot selector to work. After installing rEFIt, nothing happens.
For bootcamp, I've used various keyboards to make sure it isn't a keyboard problem, which I've seen before on my lovely mac keyboard.
Here is the current partition table for my mac mini:
*** Report for internal hard disk ***
Current GPT partition table:
# Start LBA End LBA Type
1 40 409639 EFI System (FAT)
2 409640 113393703 Mac OS X HFS+
3 113657856 156301311 Basic Data
Current MBR partition table:
# A Start LBA End LBA Type
1 1 409639 ee EFI Protective
2 409640 113393703 af Mac OS X HFS+
3 * 113657856 156301311 0c FAT32 (LBA)
MBR contents:
Boot Code: Unknown, but bootable
Partition at LBA 40:
Boot Code: None (Non-system disk message)
File System: FAT32
Listed in GPT as partition 1, type EFI System (FAT)
Partition at LBA 409640:
Boot Code: None
File System: HFS Extended (HFS+)
Listed in GPT as partition 2, type Mac OS X HFS+
Listed in MBR as partition 2, type af Mac OS X HFS+
Partition at LBA 113657856:
Boot Code: Windows NTLDR
File System: FAT32
Listed in GPT as partition 3, type Basic Data
Listed in MBR as partition 3, type 0c FAT32 (LBA), active
I don't know what else to do. Any help will be much appreciate.
Oh, and these are both fresh installs, so I can reinstall/repartition everything if needed. I'll only lose more time.
TIA,
Paul
