I'll try to get the settings up here as soon as I can get back into OSX. After reinstalling Windows 7 I can't get OSX to boot anymore. I've tried just about every method I can find. Even "fool-proof" methods don't seem to work. The closest I've got it to boot since reinstalling 7 is to the apple logo with the little rotating load-icon underneath it. But it just sits there indefinitely. If you or anyone has any ideas about how to install a boot manager that can see OSX from windows that would be great as windows doesn't even see that partition. To give you an idea of the setup I have 2 hard drives. The primary has 3 partitions. 1 for windows 7, 2 is a 100mb partition for 7's system files that it requires (this partition is normally not visible to the user), and the 3rd partition is for OSX. The 2nd hard drive is where I store all my files unrelated to the OS's. I'd try installing OSX again but that keeps me from being able to boot into 7. BOOTMGR is corrupted or missing at that point and the recovery option off of the install disc is unable to find/correct that error. So basically which ever OS I install last works and the other becomes unable to boot. Oh, and the chain0 method for some reason doesn't even try to load OSX, it just loads my Windows 7 partition lol. I've tried it quite a few times with the same result. To my understanding chain0 is particular about which systems it works on and is not a reliable method. I've tried EASYBCD, even the new 2.0 beta that automatically sets up OSX to boot. That method has thusfar been the closest I've gotten back into OSX, as that's the one where it gets to the load screen but never gets passed it, nor appears to ever freeze for some reason either. And I've tried using the iATKOSv7 install disc to reinstall the boot managers, but it gives me an error. If anyone thinks they can help and needs me to elaborate on any errors or setting please let me know and I'll get right on it. Getting this to work would help me be a bit more productive and I can stop worrying about this not working... it's annoying and makes me sad lol. Thanks again people.
