Dual boot Windows 7 + Mac OS problem!

Hello there, I have just registered.

I have got the following problem: After the installation is complete and I restart, I still got the same menu with language selection and installation stuff. How do I get past this? Also I have managed to get into Windows 7 when I found something strange. The partition I have selected in the erase menu is not there! So I have no idea where is my Mac installation.

Using Partition Wizard I saw that the 17 gb partition that I wanted to use for the OS installation is not fat32 or ntfs but "other" and it's fully used (0 kb unused).

Also using EasyBCD I assigned an entry for Mac os x86 generic but as a default it goes to drive c to NST folder but there, there is only 1 file (1 kb lol).

Help please?

Windows 7 with Intel dual core cpu, 4 giga ram, ATI graphics

Update: when I boot the pc and choose the mac boot I see the chameleon "startup menu" that I must choose windows or mac, when I press mac, it just freezes for ever.

This is becuase it is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - a format which windows cant read properly
I think you might need to boot the mac disk in single user mode (F8 and type "-s") and try to make the partition "active" using certain commands - this is the part where i become useless
It sounds like thats the problem anyways

Okay I will try to make it active using Partition Wizard, although I think I have already tried that... Thanks for the help, I will post back with the results!

Well, first of all it's an iso image so no disk for the mac. Then, when I set the partition as active the pc couldn't boot (yes I fixed the problem). So, any other suggestions?

Wait a minute. I have a feeling he's not using a Mac OSX on a Mac or Macbook. Skypower, give me your system information, and I can help. You're saying you installed Windows 7 first... O_o That means you're using a genreic x86 hackintosh.

Uhm yes guys, I am using Windows 7, my bad for not mentioning that. I am currently stuck to the freeze screen (at chameleon) at startup. Generic x86 mac is the entry I have made in EasyBCD to choose between Win7/Mac at boot.

Ohhhh! XD Should've said it was x86 first LOL.

Alright - Did you click save on easyBCD?

WindowsApple's Generic x86 Fix

1. Just Select the OS, SATA/IDE, ext2fs, and some other small drivers.

2. When partitioning, MAKE SURE TO MAKE THE DRIVE A MAC OSX EXTENDED

3. Install....

4. Now, go to Windows 7 and it should say it has encountered an error and stuff.

5. Put in ur Windows 7 installation disc.

Cancel everything until you can open CMD

Enter these commands:

select disk 0

select partition 0

active

exit

bootrec /rebuildbcd

6. REBOOT Into Windows 7

7. Download, Install and Launch easyBcd

8. Add an entry for Mac OSX

8. Need to select that it is a Generic x86

9. Reboot

10. Have fun!!~~

HOPE THIS HELPS LOL
