Turns out it is because I had a MBR drive. I re-installed everything and it is working fine now. Thank you eep357!

Yes, you can use the Terminal program in the install DVD.  It will change a couple of commands and you must know the name of your Mac partition.  If you don't remember the exact name of the Mac partition, go into Disk Utility and look it up.



Open Terminal

At the prompt,

Type:  cd "/Volumes/(name of your Mac partition)"   <== use the quote marks but not the parentheses
Type:  ls	<== this lists the files and directories

If you DON'T see a file named "mach_kernel", you need to try again
If you DO see a file named "mach_atom", you need to try again

Type:  cd System/Library/Extensions
Type:  mkdir IntelBack
Type:  mv AppleIntelHD* IntelBack/
Type:  mv AppleIntelSNB* IntelBack/

Reboot -v -f

This worked flawlessly and I thank you soooooooo much!

Try this:

After you convert it to MBR you will have to set the active partition otherwise it won't boot. First of all try to install Chimera, it should work as it does everything necessary for it to boot (install boot0, boot1h and set partition active). If it failed now we'll try this manually to make sure it's done right. First get chameleon's binaries, you may download Chimera and open the package with pacifist and extract them somewhere. Put fdisk440 in the same folder. Then try this in a terminal:

Code:

cd /folder where you extracted the binaries/


Look for your boot partition's identifier (diskXsY):

diskutil list


Get root access:

sudo su


Install boot0 to the MBR:

./fdisk440 -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdiskX


Install boot1h to the bootsector of the boot partition:

dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY


Copy the file "boot" to the partition:

cp boot /


Set the partition active:

./fdisk440 -e /dev/rdiskX


f Y (from the partition identifier rdiskXsY)

w (write)

q (quit)


Okay I did as you said but I still get this:

Boot0: done

I have almost tried every method. Only one I have not dome and can not do right is the Linux live cd method..
What is exactly wrong here? I forgot to mention try specs:
Asus x53s
I7
750gb hard drive
6gb ddr3

I am willing to try anything as booting from a DVD is super annoying..

Hey thanks for replying. I'm sorry this might be a noob question.. How do I convert a disk to mbr? And also which directory are the binaries in after using pacifist?
