Booting from same hard drive (Win 7, Mac 10.7.2)

[matthew1111xbx]

So I have an Inspiron 14R N4110 laptop.

I have EVERYTHING (except battery, but who cares) working (posting this from Mac OS right now!) but I am forced to boot from rBoot everytime. I have used EasyBeast within Multibeast, and then used Chimera 6. (Reboots in-between.) After all this, it still gives me the OS error on boot up.

Any thoughts on what I could do?

PS. I also set OS partition to active using diskpart in Windows.

Oh in addition, I plug my iPhone 4S in and iTunes doesn't detect it, but it DOES charge. I searched multiple topics on this forum, but none of them had a clear solution that worked.

Thanks

I just unplugged my iPhone from charging and the kernel panicked. It was fixed upon reboot, just tipping you guys off if that suggests some problem.

You are more likely to get answers to laptop questions in the laptop forum. See viewtopic.php?f=170&t=24846

Okay well I see you're a mod, can you move this thread to the laptop 10.7 section for me?

You could try Chameleon bootloader; that's what works for me. Install it with the Chameleon Wizard: http://www.osx86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=1713.

If you already have your partitions set up, it should work right away.

Thanks because right now I was trying Chimera.

Also, if I have an NTFt external HDD and I also have data on it from windows that I don't want deleted, can I still use it as a Time Machine for my Mac OS?

There might be a workaround, but as far as I know the disk needs to be formatted HFS+ to work with Time Machine. So no, you can't use the NTFS drive without reformatting it.
