Comment:
The haiku's installer wrote the '''partition''' boot record, however it
never touches the MBR.
When you (re)installed an intel partition map on your disk, the disk
manager didn't wrote the "MBR Boot code" because the firsts sectors of
your disk were not completely blank. (we don't want to overwrite an
existing one if any)
it seems that your MBR boot code is a M$Mindows specific one, and you need
a standard one to be able to boot Haiku.
You can find a small tool here (here)
[http://starsseed.free.fr/fixmbr.zip]
alternatively, You can copy the Haiku's MBR from the anyboot image with a
command like:
{{{
dd if=/anyboot.img of=/dev/disk/usb/…/…/raw bs=440 count=1
}}}
NB : adapt the « if » and « of » parameter to your file/drives.
PS : your partition must be flagged "active" in the partition table
because the MBR boot code need to know where is the bootable volume.
