Default Terminal problem setting boot partition - 12-11-2009, 10:52 PM
I have been following Kadosh's guide (much appreciated) to setting up XP/SL dual boot, found here: My XP/OSX Dual-Boot Saga, with a Happy Ending!

I am stuck on the final step, which I though would be the most simple. The commands entered following the fdisk command (ie: "p" or "f2") are not being recognized. It seems that "fdisk -e/dev/rdisk0" is an "illegal option".

I would be very grateful for some help. Here are the screen shots:
