vgriffin Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Finally took the plunge and installed OS X on my Asus Maximus II Formula - specs as follows: Intel E7400 2.8GHZ Core2Duo P45 mobo 4GB RAM 500GB SATA [x2] 1GB ATI Radeon HD4870 The machine was already running Win7, iDeneb install was relatively easy once I figured out what drivers and options to check off, but one problem exists. If I boot off the OS X drive into Chameleon and choose the NTFS volume, I get a "bootmgr missing - press control-alt-delete to start" message. After a couple of times of trying to repair Win7 I finally borked the OS and had to reinstall. I had read where some folks had success using BCD on their Win7 drive from which to boot into OS X and all I got was the loading screen for a while, then the little circle with the line drawn through over the silver apple and a message about mach kernel missing. Tried Acronis OSS Manager as I heard good things about it in a dual-boot environment and it refused to recognize the iDeneb drive as it said it could not recognize dynamic disks. I checked the physical drive iDeneb resides on under disc management in Admin Tools and it shows as a basic drive. Bottom line - I have to go into the bios to set boot sequence options - once I do that I can boot from either drive. Sounds like maybe some SATA issue, but I dont' know. Anybody got any ideas?
