Dual Boot WIN7 & Snow Leo
Can somoene please provide a guide or instructions to dual boot SL and W7
I currently have them both installed and can only boot to either one using the chameleon boot cd. Windows 7 I did try to repair the MBR but it tells me it can't repair it once in windows using the chameleon boot cd I try to use the BCD it tells me that it can't find the drive that has boot record and it won't go further. once in SL i go to terminal and type sudo -s fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 p f2 w y q this seems as if its making a particular partition active but then when i try to boot it just shows me a blinking cursur which means its not finding the boot drive. I partitioned the 1TB drive to install both SL and W7 EFI Partition 200MB Mac Partition 200GB W7 Partition 741GB installed SL from Retail DVD after install complete reboot and installed Chameleon. reboot installed windows 7 after installed reboot and tried to go in to windows 7 using the chamelen boot cd and then installed Easy BCD and can't install it tried to boot again in to SL using chameleon and did the terminal work and it still refuses to boot- Can someone please assist me?

What I did (the last time, LOL):
partitioned as GPT (200MB EFI + 800GB OS X + 200 (well, 1980 or whatever) W7) and installed OS X. from OS X I ran a copy of boot camp that I got from I don't know where that run's on hackintoshes (it doesn't ask to update the EFI). You may be able to skip this, but sometimes the W7 installer would growl at me if it saw the partition table as "pure GPT", so I think that the BootCamp partitioner not only partitions but updates/creates the protective MBR of GPT (in other words: it makes W7 think it's MBR, I think...). Installed W7 Installed tonymac's Dr. Hurt RC5 pre 8 installer package. |

I followed the guide from here:
http://osx86.sojugarden.com/category/working-with-os-x/ This was because both my Mac OSX and Win7 partition are on the MBR-partition scheme. The only difference from the directions was I set Mac OSX active using Win7 diskpart, and not in MacOS terminal. Win7 gets confused if you do it through Mac OSX. You have to repeat it several times (first set Win7 active), then boot into Win7 using the disc, and then set your Mac OS partition active. 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean.
