Lion + WIN 7 - boot problem

[boomerang]

Hello first of all i would like to thank all the People who are running the site (Admins, moderators, and other enthusiasts).....

Without such a great team .... and great documentation on this forum and blog i would never have been able to instal lion on my PC....

Now let me define my problem :

System Config :

MOBO: Asus P8Z68 v pro
CPU : i7 (2600k)
Ram : 2x4GB = 8GB
graphics: GeForce GTX 550 TI

Wireless keyboard + mouse from logitech (k260)

I used This guides to instal the lion and win7 as duall boot on my system

http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2011/10/ ... using.html

http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.6.8 (used as refrence to instal correct DSDT files from multibeast utility).



Almost everything works fine with my system....

Still i am new to Hackintosh and don't know which dsdt to use for my MOBO to get the best performance out of it.....

But my one most annoying problem i am facing is that when i want to boot into lion i have to use the usb thumb drive i created with unibeast.

Otherwise either windows 7 will load... and i will not get a prompt screen where i can choose between LION and Window 7...

but after few unsuccessful tries and making lion partition active .... i get this errors

Boot0:GTP
Boot0:test

Boot0:error

i have tried many SUDO commands but nothing works.... and i am new to programing still a student so don't know many commands..

If someone can help me with this error it would be great...

What should i try next ??

Is your hard drive 1TB and up? You have to partition the drive down. It will not boot using a large drive 1TB and up.

 

[boomerang]

Yes i have 1TB WD Green HD

And it is currently partitioned in two parts (2x500GB)

One for Mac and other partition for windows....

What you are suggesting i should do ??

I think i remember reading somewhere about the WD green drives giving hackintosh users a tough time.

Ahh yes

What i would suggest doing is get another HDD for your OSX with chameleon and keep the WD green for a half backup and half windows.

 

[jester969]

Yes titsmgee is correct on what ills your setup.
