It wasn't easy!!
I needed to boot up with Empire EFI v1.085 cd (I don't know why it wouldn't boot up with Tony's CD it said something about cable error. I thought it might have been because my CD/DVD drive was IDE instead of SATA but now that I read people booting with your CD I don't know what happened).
Anyways, I installed OSX.
Ran Multibeast from the iBoot CD, restart, and the laptop boots up just fine without the need of CD. Getting the audio to work was a hassle. After restarting, I had audio, but installing IO80211 kext for wifi broke audio.
After install IO80211 kxt for Wifi, I had to re-install multibeast to get audio working again.
After this, I could not access battery info. I installed Voodobattery sometinhg.. and got that working.
This is still a work in progress so last night I installed a differnet kext for audio let's see if it doesn't break beacuse after two days, audio was disabled again out of nowhere. The kext was a modified Voodoohda kext "supposed" to work for Creative SB X-FI systems.
I kept researching and got bluetooth 365 to work with another kext and a script that runs on startup.
The whole process was VERY complicated for me (this took from Friday 11 am to Sunday 3 am to get it fully dual booting SL and Win 7, because there is little to NO info on getting this done on my system (specs below). I had a lot of trial and error going on but I hope to hep anyone to do it way simpler than I did.
THANKS to TONY, THE MAN!!
The things that keep me going back to Win7 are:
For some reason some hotkeys don't work (I am not to surprised as my keyboard is the backlit keyboard so theres something not normal there).
I was able to get the resolution to 1280x1024 by editing the com.apple.boot, I added 1920x1080x32, but 1280x1024 is the highest resolution I can get.
No QE/CI
I can't adjust the display brigthness
And of course, the CPU is running full speed all the time and it eats the battery out.
