Raiedon Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I have a Dell Inspiron 14R, with an intel i3 processor and 4gb of ram. (idk if thats irrelevant or not) My computer came with windows 7 home, i recently partitioned the drive and installed Kalaway 10.5.1 on my laptop. I cant boot into my Windows partition anymore, i think i have to repair the startup for it, and when i try and run my mac partition, it starts loading through darwin then immediately stops and says "5 second pause" and reboots. The only way i can get onto my partition of mac is through the install CD, i boot it through CD, hit f8 and type "cpus=1 -v rd=disk0s3" then it boots up after about 3-5 minutes, in safe mode. i got past the "loop" on the account creation screen where it asks you your language and if you own a mac. So i basically have Mac on a partition, but it can only run through the booted CD on safe mode, but it has no sound, or internet. Im tryed using an efi bootloader thats on my friend's iAtkos CD, but it doesnt work. I think i have to use chameleon to boot up and be able to pick which partition i want. Help would be greatly appreciated, im really lost.
