I have Windows Vista installed on my Mac Pro, on it's own hard drive, and when it boots up, before the screen with the scrolling green bars going from side to side, it gives me this black screen with rolling white text that blabbers about warnings, and incorrect partitions and stuff.

At the top of this screen, it says

"Booting 'Windows Vista'

acpi
Vista Loader 2.1.2

Done!
fallback 1
find --set-root /bootngr

Warning: Unrecognized partition table for drive 80. Please rebuild it using a Microsoft-compatible FDISK tool (err=4).

Then it repeats that "Warning" message, going down the screen until it reaches the bottom, each time with a slight variation in the way it's written. Once it reaches the bottom, it all vanishes and gives me my "Microsoft Corporation" screen, and the computer continues to boot up perfectly.

Is this normal? Is this just a bootcamp thing?

Thanks!

Because you are using an illegal bootloader to trick vista into thinking it's activated.


Thread lock imminent.

It is an interesting suggestion. Is there evidence to indicate that kmkkid is right?

Google "vista loader 2.1.2"


Why would I lie?
