I now have a Tripple boot lappy with Snow Leopard 10.6.2, Windows 7 & Ubuntu 9.10.

I managed to hose my Windows 7 install by moving the partition in Gparted.
It is on partiton 3 and I moved it to the begining of the disk, deleting the two partitons at the front.
Windows then wouldn't boot. I ran a repair from the CD and then it booted but I had no keyboard or mouse functionality. Probably windows wanted to do it's login to finish installing and detecting devices, but I had no way to login. An external KB didn;t work and the onscreen keyboard just crashed.

Anyway.... I reinstalled Windows7 keeping my old files on partiton 3. Works fine now
I thn installed SL on partiton 2 which is after the win7 partiton (I didn't think you could do that with partitions, but hey..)
I then installed Ubuntu 9.10 on some extended parttions and put grub on the boot partiton not the MBR.

I also had to install the latest beta of EasyBCD to setup my booting, as with the standard stable release, Ubuntu would not boot as grub2 is not supported.

All in all I now have a well usable lappy with all my OS requirements and functioning hardware.

The main things left are:

1. Fix sound in SL
2. Get a bettery meter in SL. Bit annoying not knowing how much battery I have left.
Luckily my dell has one of those batterys with the button you press and shows you
a meter.
3. Most of the keyboard stuff works, except typing a #. I've installed a keyremapper program to sort out the @ and " switch around.
4. Touchpad scrolling and other gestures still not working.


All in all, I still say use the MyHack installer, buy a SL disk and enjoy.
