Boot issues after installing Mac OSX

Hi guys, hope you are all trying to install Mac OS on your system and few might have succeeded in doing that...

Now, few people might be having some Boot up problems... They might be able to boot to Mac or Windows

So, this is the solution

Step 1: Insert the Mac OS DVD

Step 2: Boot from the DVD using -v -s as the parameter.... -s stands for Single User Mode

Step 3: Now type fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0

Step 4: Now, flag=1 ; here 1 represents the Partition 1st on your disk... the partition number may vary.. in case if you are having 3 partitions and out of which 2 partitions are for windows and 3rd partition is for Mac
Then if you want to boot from Mac then type flag=3 else you can type flag=1

Step 5: write

Step 6: update

Step 7: quit

Step 8: reboot

Now you will be able to boot to the Operating System for which you have set the flag... Now no need to format your PC to repair your Boot... :P
