Hey guys, bought my HP Probook 4540s today and ordered the wifi card (Atheros AR9280 AR5BHB929). i searched the site and wondered why there is no full tutorial to dualboot. Im sure there are so much questions, just because people dont find solutions in the forum. Would be glad if someone could make a Full Dualboot tutorial. Ty!

You might take a look at my multi-boot blog article. Link in signature. You can simply skip the parts that aren't applicable to your dual-boot scenario.

There is also this dual boot post from the Multi-booting forum: http://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-booting/96000-guide-mountain-lion-windows-8-a.html

wow, ty. this is what i searched for. will try it when i got my wifi card :)
 
I have some Problems doing this Tutorial: http://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-booting/96000-guide-mountain-lion-windows-8-a.html

1. If i use the Probook Installer, do i need to use included Chimera / Chameleon and the Multibeast or just simply don't install it and get Multibeast? If its just MultiBeast so what do i choose at installing it.

2. How can i figure out if i have Ivy or Sandy?

I tried these Sites:
For UniBeast: http://www.tonymacx86.com/61-unibeast-install-os-x-mountain-lion-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html
For HP Probook ML Install: http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-probook/77057-guide-installing-mountain-lion-hp-probook.html
For Dualboot: http://racerrehabman.wordpress.com/

It's a bit confusing to follow so many guides. I will take some time and do one Guide just for the Probook dualboot if it will run correctly.

Hope for a quick answer. ty

We don't use Multibeast on the ProBook. For the ProBook, the ProBook Installer is a kind of replacement for Multibeast.

2. How can i figure out if i have Ivy or Sandy?

Your CPU is (according to your profile), Intel® Core™ i5-3210M, so therefore IvyBridge. (All Ivy Bridge CPUs are named iX-3xxx*).
 
Well, a dualboot didn't work without multibeast. I installed both - the probook installer and chameleon bootloader from multibeast and it started working.

Now i just have one question:

How do i change settings at the probook installer after i did already run it? For example, i want to turn off the brightness changer i picked while installing probook installer. Do you know how to do it?

Thanks for the support
 
I put a SATA caddy in the CD bay and dual boot to Win 7 with a second drive, it's the easiest thing EV4R.

Multibeast doesn't have the Chameleon bootloader (the ProBook Installer does), but OK.
For dual-boot guide, I suggest you look at this link: http://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-booting/96000-guide-dual-booting-mountain-lion-windows-8-a.html

Or for more complex scenarios, look at my multi-boot article at my blog (link in signature).

It depends on the option you choose... "Brightness changer" installs a startup daemon in /Library/LaunchAgents/setBrightness.plist. You can simply remove that file.
