vald Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Hello to everyone, Please hear me out! First, i want to start by telling that I've read the guides on this forum, and the guides on osx86-wiki, and many forums, and tried to install osx86 with iATKOS_4i I failed miserably I know my configuration is compatible, I have Intel Core2 Duo E6550 Gigabyte P35-DS3R motherboard MSI NX8800GT 512 video card 4 GB of RAM I was hoping to dual boot vista ultimate sp1 with osx with this guide http://inihilist.wordpress.com/2008/04/05/easy-installation-guide-dual-boot-windows-vista-and-mac-os-x-105-real-quick-and-fool-proof/ The problem was that Disk Utility couldn't find any of the drives, probably because it didn't make the unallocated drive primary... So I went back to windows and tried to partition it to FAT32 Disk Utility did the same thing, couldn't find anything. (nobody explained that part anywhere..) So I rebooted the PC, and it could boot into windows... the message was acpl Vista Loader 2.1.2 Done! Fallback 1 find --set-root /bootmgr _ I had to rebuild bcd in the command prompt because the casual restore didn't work. I made it to vista, and now its deactivated, and now i need the product key (yes, i am using an illegal copy) I've searched the whole web and surprisingly there is NO key that works... i cant use the auto activation mini-softwares because it currupts the new BOOTSECT.BAK file and gives me the same message on loading i had written here.. what happened back there ?!?! what did it do to my bootloader file? how can i fix this file ?! is kalyway_leo 10.5.1 better than iATKOS v4i ? please help, cuz i am banging my head on a wall Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/142738-failed-iatkos-installation-led-to-bootloader-corruption/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
