chadfran Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I have been thinking about attempting a os x install for some time. I develop on android both apps and do some roms from android source but most my time is in theming. So i need my Adobe products but build environments on windows are horrible so i need linux. Os x has both available if i can configure it right so I spent about three days reading forums and tweeking around and this is how i got it working in a not so great tutorial(not my thing and im not patient enough) hope it helps some and if you have any help in areas where i need fixes it would be appreciated.

unetbootin make a live usb reboot Installed linux mint to the third hd (Might have to make some changes to hd here) I crunched the Linux Partition down a bit so i could make a little swapspace) Linux is about the easiest thing in the world to install so this is going to be it. Next i got A Mavericks vmware image and vmware for linux Installed the vmware Installed mavericks vm made a usb mavericks installer with myhack (http://goo.gl/TzGJ9t)installing all the options and recommended settings Rebooted system into mavericks install to my mavericks partition go through it (wouldn't boot until I did -v GraphicsEnabler=No) Just got it booting then went back into linux mint Downloaded Win 7 Home Premium iso (i have activation # with my pc) Made It a bootable installer with Unetbootin booted into installer Installed windows to the windows partition Went through each os and made my tweaks/drivers/fixes on osx for 5450 (http://goo.gl/Fvn1IN) Still havent got my android wired tether to work on Mavericks If you can help let me know I have no experience on OS X and this was my first attempt. Take your time and learn. Hacking is fun Im an android themer and dev (http://goo.gl/okAa6x) and would like to contribute a little here Screenshots: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293326-how-i-installed-triple-boot-mavericks-windows-7-linux-mint/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JANSDEJAGER Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hi Chadfran, Interesting post. I am also running triple boot with combined Grub and Clover boot loaders (clover doesn't show gui but defaults to 10.8). I've found the uefi boot to be much superior to chameleon for stability and dealing with optimus graphics on my notebook, but what do you use as boot loader? My oem version of Windows 7 pro also doesn't technically support gpt so when I create a swap volume (effectively 5 partitions), it refuses to boot. Luckily I don't use ubuntu much so it functions without swap. I might just try Mavericks on an external drive for now until I can figure out what will happen if I overwrite my ML partition (clover might not recognise it and I prefer it to chameleon). Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info! Creating more than 4 partition can break Windows MBR, you can try reinstall with Windows UEFI, it works perfectly with Clover. If you don't want to reinstall, then create >4 partitions then use gdisk (from Linux usb key) to recreate a hybrid MBR that only contains 4 partitions. OS X and Linux still recognize all partitions, only Windows MBR will read Hybrid MBR and recognizes only 4 partitions. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293326-how-i-installed-triple-boot-mavericks-windows-7-linux-mint/#findComment-1960963 Share on other sites More sharing options...

OS X and Linux still recognize all partitions, only Windows MBR will read Hybrid MBR and recognizes only 4 partitions. Currently using Chameleon. I dont have everything straight so when i boot into linux it takes me to grub2 where i can choose what kernel or version i want want to use. I like this because i always break linux because of my over tampering that doesn't always agree with the updates. Can you tell us how you got Linux Mint looking like that for a newbie? Step 1: Install linux mint Step 2: Change the wallpaper Done Mint is the third screen The second is a setup of rainmeter that i have played with on windows. There are lots of options like this in mint though. Conky is a good system monitor sudo apt-get install conky or Try Screenlets Here is a little tutorial for you: http://www.howtogeek.com/104913/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293326-how-i-installed-triple-boot-mavericks-windows-7-linux-mint/#findComment-1961080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
