DUAL BOOT - win7 install doesnt start/ not getting the guide

[coffeencigs]

greetings...
iam not quite getting the SL - Win7 Dual Boot Guide

i have my osx installed following iBoot/MultiBeast Guide, it is up and running now
(even though iam still booting with iBoot Disc inserted)

now the Dual Boot Guide talks about Chameleon... do i have to install it first? If so, how?

i followed the guide, and set up two partitions one for osx one for win7 (FAT)

" insert win7 disc and reboot" no problem.
but the installation of windows / the Press any key to boot from CD/DVD wont show up...
my bios settings are still set up like the iBoot/MultiBeast guide...

wheres the mistake?

thank you very very much

To get the computer to boot from CD, you need to make sure you select the boot disk at startup (Usually by hitting F12 at the BIOS screen on Gigabyte boards).

Also, this page here was helpful for me in finally figuring out how to get Windows and SL working together correctly, particularly its advice about running 'sudo fdisk -u /dev/rdisk0' and then a comment about repairing the windows installation from the windows installation disk after which was necessary for me: http://osx86.sojugarden.com/2009/12/dua ... mystified/

F12 solved it. Maybe. Because that wasnt the only problem. My Win7 install disk is broke
never thought about it because i used the dvd to install win on my friends pc two days ago. burned the image again at very low speed. works!

ill get a coffee now and try it again, iam still going with the guide you posted tho.

thanks for your time / replies.
