Hi
I want to install the iatkos version but the thing is, i have windows 7 and xp already installed in a dual boot and i want to install it now in a new partition
the only problem is that every post and tutorial i see requires the win7 dvd and i currently do not have it. is it possible to install iatkos7 just with its dvd?
thanks in advance
Full Version: dual boot iatkos7 + win7/xp with windows installed first
From my experience yes you can.
I used iATKOS v7 with chameleon 2 bootloader.
The mac partition is the active one and the chameleon bootloader allows access to the windows partition.
With other versions of iATKOS or bootloaders I can't be sure.
And a return question for you, my second boot is windows 7 v7600, I'm having a hell of a time finding an activator, is yours active?

yeah. genuine and all.. i cant be sure what i used right now cause i dont have my external hdd with me.. but as soon as i get it i'll tell you.
so ill just have to install it with the chameleon bootloader right?
Yeh, chameleon v2 found my windows partitions fine.
Only thing to be aware of is that windows 7 adds a small boot partition, so from chameleon you'll see 2 windows partitions, 1 will work and the other will give you an error to the effect of "bootmgr is missing", if you get the message just use the other one.
P.S. if you don't have a partition set up for osx yet use the windows built in partitioner for that. The partitioner in mac os disk utility will force you to format the whole drive, I'm pretty sure.

...will chameleon work with win7/xp on a different harddrive and osx on another?
I'm pretty sure I read that chameleon v2 has raid support, but I haven't tested it so I'm not sure.
