Cole Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I figured that this would be the proper place to put this, seeing as it has to do with another operating system. I currently have a setup that dual boots Windows 7 and the LawlessPPCPhenomLeo version of OSX--I use Windows 7's boot loader to boot to either, and it works great. What seemed to happen is that once I got into OSX I could not boot into Windows 7, it would hang at the black loading screen. 7 has a pretty nifty installation CD that allows you to run several repair functions for current installations right off of the CD. I found that the default ntfs windows partition had some errors in some critical files for ntfs boot (file system index files, moreover) that were keeping 7 from booting. It corrected and worked fine, but I'm wondering whether OSX tried putting some Finder indexing files or something of that nature in those drives while they were mounted using ntfs-3g. Has anyone else had this problem in any way? And can I flag the mount commands in any way so that finder or OSX does not try to index the drive?
