			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">With mixed emotions like glee and exhilaration and excitement of being able to successfully install a Mac OS X (Leopard) on an ACER laptop, a rush of panic had stricken me. After restarting, it was not booting on the first-installed Windows XP!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Confusion and panic got the best of me, frantically typing keywords on Google to find the most appropriate action for what I was experiencing and to no avail, they just added to my confusion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have rebooted at least 3 times after some of the said solutions but to no avail it still boots on Leopard, hope slowly slipping away. I had to take the last resort on solving this problem, the impeccable &#8220;fixmbr&#8221; of Windows XP. After much convincing, I braced myself and typed the command &#8220;fixmbr \Device1\Partition1\Harddisk0 &#8221; and then pressed &#8220;Enter&#8221;. After agreeing on the warning that seemed like gibberish, it did its way and said to me that it was successful.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All hope was totally gone when I rebooted and still got the Leopard. I decided to reboot one last time. As Darwin&#8217;s loader is counting down, I tried to press a key to show its boot options; and to my surprise and demise it held an option of booting to Windows XP! I tried it but unfortunately my Windows XP drive was already and &#8220;Invalid Partition Type&#8221; thanks to that EFFING FIXMBR!!!a</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I feel like an idiot. Seriously.</p>
