Hello,
I have dualboot with windows 7 and Mac OS X.
My default bootloader is the windows one.
I made a mistake and set the windows bootloader timeout to 0.
If I now want to boot windows it skips to mac bootloader and then if i select the windows partition it skips again to the mac bootloader.


How can I boot windows ?


THX!

Use your Win 7 install disk to repair the boot sector. It will over write the messed up file with the default.
 
Do I have to use the bootrec /FixBoot oder /FixMBR option?

After doing this I simply add OS X again by using EasyBCD, right?


THX :)

Either that or re-install using this method - http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2009/11/ ... -snow.html

If you want Win7 to be the default OS to boot to, you can set that in the com.apple.boot.plist.
