Hello,

I have a few questions before installing Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 on my Notebook. I have an ASUS Notebook (Intel Core i5) with Win7 (64-bit) already installed. The HDD has 3 partitions: 1) Win7, 2) Empty (Hopefully Mac OS X soon!) and 3) Data. I'm planning on using iATKOS L2 to make a Dual-Boot. I've searched on-line to make sure all my hardware is compatible and I found this tool: System Info. This is what it shows:

The problem are my graphics cards: Intel® HD Graphics 3000 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX, and I haven't been able to find any post about my NVIDIA card.
So my questions are:
1-. If I try to install iATKOS L2, will it work?? (I mean with any of the graphics cards.)
2-. If I install iATKOS L2, will I still be able to boot Win7?? Is there any chance of losing my Data partition??
3-. Has anyone tried to make the Dual-Boot with this software: EasyBCD??

I'm want to install Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 now, but keep the process of making everything compatible as a project...

Do you have an optimus model? If so you will not be able to get the nvidia card working but the integrated intel hd 3000 wil work.  I was able to install iatkos with the rboot cd and boot options graphicsenablerno.  What is the asus model you use?

Hi,
my NVIDIA card actually is an Optimus model... to bad it won't work =(. My notebook model is an ASUS K53SC w/ Intel Core i5 and the NVIDIA Card that I previously mentioned. Could you explain me what did you use RBoot CD for??
