Settings Mac OS X Dual-boot Using Windows XP Bootstrap

I installed OS X on a separate hard drive. I used the bootloader built into Windows.

The copy the chain0 file from

/usr/standalone/i386/chain0

to

C:\chain0

Then add

C:\chain0="Mac OS X"

To my Windows bootloader (file boot.ini). It works flawlessly. When I turn the computer on, I get a menu for

Windows XP
Mac OS X

I can choose either, and once I select and press enter, it automatically boots into the desired OS. No other settings required.

Hope this helped those who had problem into booting to Mac OS X or finding a software that can dual-boot Windows and Mac OS X. Why get 3rd party, when Windows already have the functionality.

To get more information about chain0, please visit Wiki page on the subject. Also available for download the chain0 file itself.
