OSX and Windows 7 Dual Boot

Hi everyone,
I have a problem when setting up OS X.
I finished set up Windows7 and also updated it few times. After that set up OS X into laptop, my touchpad and keyboard is not working. I cannot key in anything, just can use usb mouse to continue setup. It can work well until here.
After restart laptop and choose OS X to boot, until the part key in all the information for register of MAC, I cannot key in at all. I don't know what's going on.
Can any bro help me to work it out? I tried to do many times but still same result. Now, my keyboard can work in Windows 7 but my touchpad still dead. No function at all.

Thanks all bro in advance.

@ limneos -

I did that EXACT same thing on my Windows 7 x64. Except the only difference is i also did OSX Snow Leopard (10.6). And i used a bootable USB instead of CD.

Hello pmcgarr

I have dual boot W7 and OSX 10.5.6.

All you need to do is first , install W7. Then, create a new partition for your osx within W7 , format it as fat32 or ntfs and set to to be "active".

Then run the osx installation and before you start the install, go to Utilities and "disk utility" , select the partition you created from W7 and format it as Journaled (don't delete it!).

Then, install as you would normally, selecting this partition as your installation target. (don't forget to customize your OSX installation with the necessary drivers for you system.)

After installation is complete, you will need to repair your W7 boot loader, cause you probably won't be able to boot W7.
Insert the W7 installation DVD, at the first installation screen select your language etc, and at the second screen select "repair computer".
This will bring the W7 boot loader back, so you can boot W7.

Now you won't be able to load osx!
So boot in Windows 7, and unhide your hidden 200MB partition:

1. In disk management, assign a drive letter for your 200MB hidden partition.

2.Download EasyBCD and add a new boot entry, select MacOS, Generic X86, Add, Save. That's it.

You can now have dual boot with W7 and OSX

Hi there. I've tried the method you described but i'm having trouble. Mac OS refuses to install. The installation process goes to a certain point and then just stops. It freezes. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. I used an original Mac OS Leopard installation DVD on an Intel E5200 with a P35 chipset. You think it might be a hardware issue? Thanks

Could be a hardware issue or could be the distribution you are using. You might be able to tweak the BIOS until it works, or you may need to try another distribution (iDeneb, iAtkos etc). Have a look at this thread and read my post #7, and reference the included links within, there is tons of good info.

Good luck

Why stay away from iDeneb? For me it's the ONLY one that works fully.

You might be right. I thought that the official release was more stable. Also, I once read that my PC was not compatible with any version of iDaneb (who knows...?) i guess I'll give it a try. Thanks.

@madtownidiot: Thanks for the link. The article looks really well documented.
