Qtrain Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hope this makes sense... I just simply have not been able to get OSX to work, so i want to get that partition back. First I reformated the OSX partition after booting with iAtkos dvd, but then the thing didn't know how to boot from the hard disk. So basically, i had to reinstall iAtkos OSX (still doesn't work) just so I could select my vista partition from the Darwin dual boot options. Of course, while im running windows, i don't have access to that partition. And also, i have to select the vista partition every time I boot, otherwise it tries to run the faulty OSX install (always freezes on the gray apple screen). here's my machine in case anybody knows the right custom settings so i can just have a dual boot that works: Acer Aspire AS5730-4163 Part# LX.AUE0X.180 Intel Pentium Dual Core T3200 / 2 GHz 64-bit processor Data bus speed: 667 MHz Mobile Intel GL40 Express Chipset 1 MB L2 cache 4GB DDR2 SDRAM SO DIMM 200-pin Storage controller type: Serial ATA Storage Controller / Serial ATA Interface: Serial ATA-150 Hard Drive: 320 GB - Serial ATA-150 DVD±RW / DVD-RAM - Integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0 Can't seem to get the right custom settings...Kalyway or iAtkos, same result: freeze on the gray apple screen after installation restart.
