Fix HFS + Partition Error on dual boot Mac OS and Vista
This guide is for restoring our nice, working hackintosh's darwin bootloader.Basically, Vista RTM foobars our working MBR's bootloader and you get "HFS+ partition error".In following, I will assume we have one HDD with two partitions: part#1 = OSX and part#2 = Vista1. Boot off OSX dvd disc in single user mode (press F8 and type -s)2. At single user promptfdisk -e /dev/rdisk0flag 1updatewritequit4 rebootAt this point OSX should boot up, just like prior to Vista installation.1 In a terminal window,su rootfdisk -e /dev/rdisk0flag 2quit2 rebootVista will say "\Window\system32\winload" corrupted, and it will tell you to insert Vista disc and recover.Follow directions from Vista and recover, then reboot. Check Vista boots and works fine.1. Boot off OSX dvd disc for single user one last time (press F8 and type -s)2. At single user promptfdisk -e /dev/rdisk0flag 1quit3. rebootHeshan Wanigasooriya
Very complete and accurate.
