Hello all, I want to dual boot windows 7 and mac os x. First, I created a new unallocated partition in windows 7(already installed). Then, I downloaded iAtkos 7(with iDeneb Lite same problem). Burned it on clean dvd rw(slow speed) via CDBurnerXP. When, I boot with it(iAtkos) all works fine until I need to choose where I want to install Mac OS X. I choosed language and then Disk Utility can't find any HDD(I have one). It see only DVD disk. What can I do?

My system specs(HP Pavilion dv6910us):
AMD Turion x2 TL-60 2.00 Ghz
3 GB RAM
200 GB SATA
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M
Windows 7 Ultimate installed

Please, help me! Thank you very much!

I had a similar problem. A few things you can do...

1. If you use SATA hook the hard drive up to the 1st SATA port.
2. Format the partition using Paragon Parition Manger to APPLE AF format and try
