I gave up on it over Christmas and just got back to fixing this today. After repartitioning everything smaller I figured out that Norton Ghost 15 was mangling the partitions when I restored the Windows 7 image. I think what it did was restore the partition table from the 750GB drive on the...

There is a DSDT for F6, I would go with that. I don't think that solves this particular problem though.

What port is the hard drive connected to? Try SATA3_0 or SATA2_2.

I've been running 2 or 3 OS setups with SL, Lion, and Windows 7 on the same hard drive and have been able to get them all working and bootable from Chimera. I've decided on the final state of this system to be dual boot Lion and Windows 7 and can't get the Windows 7 partition recognized by...

You're welcome, glad you got it going.

You would do much better with Lion. I haven't seen anyone get HD3000 working at better than 1024x768 in SL and most of the time not at all. When you were booting from iBoot and the system was running but the screen was blank is a classic unsupported graphics problem. I had the same exact...

I suspect your "Green" drive is the root of your booting problem. Do a search for "Green Drive" or WD10EARS or WD10EARX to find some discussions about them. There are fixes in some cases. As far as HD3000, it's not supported until Lion and you likely will not be able to get it working to any...

I finally decided I hate the default background on the login screen (Aurora I think it is), so I created one to use based on the Lion gray background. The steps to replace it are fairly simple: 1. Place the JPG file on the desktop (or some known location) 2. Open Terminal 2. Type cd...

Re: Officially stuck On first reboot you will still have to use the boot flags you used the first time. After you get DSDT and MultiBeast installed you should be able to stop using them.

Re: Officially stuck Yes, I would use F9. No reason I can see to use F10 now and by the time you would ever need it there will be a DSDT for it.

Re: Officially stuck Search didn't turn up much on this. Which hard drive do you have, and what port is it plugged in to? My hard drives are plugged in to SATA3_0 and SATA2_2. The only real difference I see is that I used the DVI connector. Did you try PCIRootUID=0? What bios version is...

Re: Officially stuck I have no idea what GraphicsEnabler=0 would do. I'm going to guess you either have some other hardware connected that you haven't listed and is interfering, the bios is not set up right, some issue with the port the USB flash drive is connected to, or the flash drive...

Go to System Information -> Software -> Extensions Find AppleRTC and it will tell you which one it is using.

Re: Officially stuck I assume you are using the onboard HD3000 video? I used HD3000 to get mine installed and until I got everything from MultiBeast installed I used -x -v -GraphicsEnabler=No to boot from the UniBeast USB drive. After you get to the desktop do your MutliBeast install and...

Re: Upgrading SB i7-2600k HD 3000 with Sapphire Radeon 5770 I installed Lion 10.7.2 on HD3000 and got everything working. I then installed the 10.6.7 versions of ATI5000Controller, ATIFramebuffer, and ATISupport using Kext Utility. I disabled HD3000 in the bios, installed the 5770 and it...
