Hi, my friend has a Macbook Pro and just upgraded to leopard. He decided to try out bootcamp. I installed Vista for him and applied vistaloader 2.1.2. It appears to work, but it takes a while to boot because it hangs at the first 3 non-NTFS partitions before it finally finds Vista on the 4th partition. Is there anyway I can modify the bootloader so that it doesn't try to check the first 3 partitions?
I'm having this problem too. Vista Loader works, but it takes 2+ minutes to boot up Vista everytime cause it doesn't find the NTFS partition until after it hangs on the Mac partitions. Anyone know of a solution for this?
Hi! The same goes here. I would ask for your help with Vistaloader 2.1.x on Macbook Pro that I own. The activation stuff itself works ok with Vista Ultimate SP1 32 bit, but the execution of grub4dos related part on every boot is very slow - about 2 minutes or more before Vista starts loading. After that everything works fine. Macbook Pro is an apple x86 equipped by EFI instead of BIOS. So I think it uses some sort of BIOS emulation provided by a piece of software called BootCamp. This slow boot really pisses me off and I don't know what to do. If you have an access to the sources of the modified grub4dos and could provide some debug versions to me, I would be very happy to assist you and run those versions, so we could try to solve this problem. Thanks much, Vistaldr.
