amador Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 i ussually use AMD system for installing OSX. it's my first time to install on an INTEL system everything seems to run properly,i even update the software and it's all good.however, i only use 1 Hard disk with 2 operating system.the bootloader seems to unrecognize the windows partition it automaticaly run on Snow Leopard. what should i do? does anyone encounter this kind of a problem on their system? here is the specs: MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-N650SLI-DS4 RAM : 2GB DDR2 CPU :C2D 2.4 VGA :NVIDIA GF7600GT 256MB HD :WD CAVIAR BLUE 640GB 3 PARTITION :WINDOWS 7 : EMPTY : SNOW LEOPARD THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z0ID Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hey Amador, Please post more information what filesystems do u use (FAT32,NTFS,WinHF,HFS+ etc) And What Kind of PartitionTable do u use (GUID,Apple or MBR)What kind of bootloader (I think it could be ...mhh.. let me guess.... ähh chameleon right ?) So it looks that Chameleon has overwritten the mbr Bootloader of Windows... There are several ways out of this.. Restore windows mbr (google is your friend) then locate and copy the chain0 file from your mac partition and add them to yout boot.ini (windows Partition) in this way c:\chain0="Apple Mac OSX 10.6". Personally I like Chameleon more.. if u wanna use Chameleon u have to reinstall win7 to Partition 2 but dont forget to use a fix so that SL supports MBR partitions. g00d luck betzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z0ID Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 You say what format the partitions have but u have forgotten to post the TABLE-FORMAT Chameleon must be on top of Partition Table (without a patch the table must be GUID) :-( and by the way use only primary Partitions (not more than four) And install Fuc.king-windows 7 before SL on the 2. ; 3. or 4. Partition, leave the first one free for SL so u be save that Chameleon will not kill the bill. So, cu till next reinstall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
