GUID

#1 Post by cpascu01 » Sat Nov 24, 2007 9:46 pm

I'm trying to dual boot OSX 10.4.8 with Vista. I have it installed and it works but now I'm trying to set up the bootloader using chain0. Does anyone know how to determine the GUID of my OSX partition?


UPDATE

I didn't figure out what the GUID was, but using EasyBCD really helped. =)

GUID, have not gone there,...
from what I heard, GUID, resize partitions, without loosing data,....yeah
no more MBR ,...

- window 64 xp , boot support, darn only on 64bit version,...

but have no idea how to make it bootable,...

Uh... GUID is a type of partition table (like MBR).

I think you're trying to figure out the device number of your OS X partition, which is something else entirely. EasyBCD should make that unnecessary. (Confusingly, GUID can also mean 'general user id').
