Hey guys,
A friend of mine has a Mac Book. I tried Mac OS X o n his machine and I wanted to have it, too. But I didn't want to spend so much money for a iMac or Mac Book. I decided to turn my normal Windows PC into a Hackintish!
Because I am all new to this, I wanted to build a dual boot system with windows 7 and the newest Mac OS X. In order to do that I had to change my mbr based partition sheme into guid. I've done that using a tool called gparted live cd.
I knew that Windows would not boot anymore so I copied the important data to a partition that I created for this. I erased all other partitions and created two new ones. One for Windows and one for OS X.
As the instructions told me, I installed Windows first in UEFI mode. It created two partitions. A efi boot partition and a msr partition. After that I restored my data from the backup partition I mentioned above. Everything worked and I deleted the backup partition.
Now I installed Mac OS X ML using the unibeast drive I created with my friends Mac Book. Everything worked after I installed multibeast (I installed chameleon bootloader).
My problem is that I cant boot into Windows 7 anymore! The Mac OS X installer seems to have deleted the efi and the msr partitions and used them for it's own bootloader. When I choose Win 7 in chameleon it shows me this error message:
bootmgr is missing
press ctrl+alt+del to reboot
What can I do to fix that? I can access my jmportant data through mac os x but I want to boot Windows cuz I need it!!!
Thanks for your help and sorry for the long post, but I have to tell you everything in order to get reliable help!
If there is a similar post or if I am wrong here I am very sorry but i am new to this forum and I lost orientation!
edit:
Ok I deleted the Mac OS X partition and all other partition exept of the partiton, where Windows is installed in and recreated its efi and msr partition. Windows is working fine now. I have about the half of my 1,5 TB harddisk free space and I want to install Mac OS X ML in there. Windows 7 is already installed in UEFI mode or whatever this mode is called.
How do I install Mac OS X without destroying the Windows bootsector so I can dual boot these two operatingsystems?
thanks for any help!
