Hello again guys.

I'm currently installing an iAtkos S3 V2 distro in which I will dualboot alongside Windows 7 using EasyBCD 2.1 (Addition of another boot line for OSX)

I was wondering, will formatting the drive into Primary make any difference whilst I'm in the installation stage for erasing to make it journaled?

I tried using logical and MBR instead of EFI from EasyBCD and it gives me Chain boot error but not with EFI. But instead, it loads until the Apple logo just for a 1/2 sec and reboot again.

My laptop is N4110 SB i5.

I've problem with my 892 sound card, the mic will work around 30s before shutting it off by itself. So, bought myself a VZTEC's RM19.90 USB sound card and I'm good. It'll be a headache to get the internal mic working..

I have an Asus A42J

i5 460M, nVidia 310M, 320GB HDD, 2GB x 2 DDR3 RAM bought in Dec 2010

I was wondering that I can install MacOSX with iAt_ _ s without messing up my bootloader that I have to use Win7 recovery disk or using EasyBCD to store my Windows MBR(yes, i'm dual booting)

Can anyone give me some advice?

I guess same problem here?
Do you use MBR or EFI for the bootloader via EasyBCD?

One time, I effed my Win7 bootloader when I changed my OSX partition to primary and active. Resort to using disk to key in the correct commands for the fix. What's more, the distro won't let you format inside the Disk utility when the partition you're in is primary rather than logical. It works with the latter but booting's the problem like I said in my previous post.

its quite troublesome to those make a dual booting hdd. i had experienced this before..either one OS will become not active.
not active means you cant boot in unless you make that particular os partition become active..

this is on my side happened before.

On the dual boot issue, here is the way I did my installation on my desktop:

1. Install OSX, during installation, create GUID partition for OSX and another partition for Windows (didn't remember, either set to NTFS or FAT32).
2. Install Windows 7 to the Windows partition, this will screw up your boot, you won't be able to multiboot yet.
3. Boot up using either iBoot or MyHack (whichever you use for your installation) and rerun Chameleon or Chimera (whichever you used as your bootloader.

In your /Extra/comp.apple.Boot.plist add the following:

CODE

       <key>Default Partition</key>
       <string>hd(0,2)</string>
       <key>Timeout</key>
       <string>2</string>


This will default your bootup partition, with a countdown of 2 secs so you could choose which OS you want to boot up. Works perfectly for me .. tho' now I've totally wiped out my Windows7 since I can run it on my VM.. just added another 8GB into my setup yesterday smile.gif

@izzi, itunes? What apps do you want to buy? You should use AppStore and not iTunes to download Mac apps.

The itunes error has nothing to do with the OS. Have you been able to logon from other machine at home? I've never have any problem connecting to itunes (for my iphone) using my setup, be it at 10.6.8 or Lion. Have you check Apple's knowledge base? They might have explanation and troubleshooting guide to fix your problem.

Since the Lion in USB is now available from online store, probably there will be more question on how to install Lion from scratch. There are few ways now, one of it can be found here using kakewalk.

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=262823

I believe there will be more way of getting Lion installed .. still waiting the iboot way..

I used Super duper for cloning pretty simple & stright foward. Just select hd source to hd target, copy all. It will clone & make boot partition.

Then reboot with iboot or nawcom cd boot. Reapply multibeast or myhacks bootloader with kext permission repair... prestoo a perfect indentical hdd copy.
