OSX Dead

[bomberaia]

After I installed Parallels and the Bootcamp Tools, I can't boot into my Mac HD, only into Bootcamp HD with windows. I have no idea how to get OSX unning again since I just switched over from the PC virus world. Has anyone had this problem? Please help.

Hold down the Alt key during bootup and you can pick the startup disk you want to use, e.g. pick the OS X disk to boot into OS X.

That's the problem, there is no longer a Mac OSX HD showing up up. Only Win XP. I can't boot into the OSX. Do I have to reformat my HD and reinstall Mac OSX?

From within Windows go to control panel and double click start up disk. Do you have an option in there for OS X?

 

[bomberaia]

No, I tried that. I talked to support. I'm reloading OSX & XP on Bootcamp.

Have you tried repairing permisions by booting from a OSX install disc? That should fix it!

It sounds like you installed bootcamp/XP on top of the OSX partition instead of in the empty partition that it created.
