grettings and salutations good people..I have a Sony laptop and am trying to install Leopard..Snow Leopard would be ideal but maybe not doable.

The specs I know of are the processor and the memory.

Its a Core 2 Duo with 3 gigs ddr-2..I installed Everst(full version) and will be able to give any information..I just don't know what. I have done some research on these laptops and from what I can tel, the Intel GMA X3100 is a crap shoot with OSX..

If someone wants to help me out that would be awesome. I can post any specs you need, I just need to know what. If you want, I can even send you the full report from Everest.

Ok...I have a working install of iAtkos V7 and everything works...except I can't get to my Windows partition.

After I installed Mac, Chameleon V2 came up and I booted into Mac to make sure it works and then restarted. I selected my Windows partition and it wouldn't boot..I expected that. I inserted my Windows 7 install dvd and clicked repair, and it said it couldn't be repaired. I'm sorta lost as to what to do next and I'm hoping someone here can help me out. Thanks for the help guys and hope to hear from you soon..

Update #2.

Am know able to boot into my Windows partition as well as my Mac partition and am very happy. Only thing that does not work is my wireless/Bluetooth. I am not sure what I have but will look..Is there a way I can get a new wireless card(not a USB dongle) that is compatibe?

Field Note #1 @argotera 2009-11-10

what bluetooth do you have?
try finding it via windows, device manager.
there is probably gonna be a guide how to to that for your specific hardware
try googling it.

or see this guide.
and see if it helps you and gives you any ideas.

permission repairs and stuff are done by hand in this guide, but you can do that by using kext utility or after you mofify the ionetworking.kext.
I personally built once thg IONetworking file and then for everyinstallation i did i do i am installing it via UInstaller, and it works.
