guiness9 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Hello, I recently installed Windows 7 one one of my hdd's. I installed iATKOS 4.1i and installed Leopard fine within 20-30 minutes. After the installation was complete and it restarted, it immediately booted back into Windows 7. I can see in Windows that the Leopard is successfully installed on the other hdd. My computer specs are below. I guess the question is how to make Windows 7 not overwrite Leopard trying to boot up or being able to select at startup which OS to boot up - like XP with boot.ini.

DennisNL Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Add Mac OS X to the bootloader manually. The easiest way to do that is with EasyBCD. http://neosmart.net/downloads/software/Eas.../Build%2055.exe Found on : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=142582 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/166510-asus-p5n-d-w-windows-7-skips-leopard-boot/#findComment-1157240 Share on other sites More sharing options...
guiness9 Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 I messed with the EasyBCB and here's what I came up with: I restarted the computer and I'm glad to see that I have a boot menu with both Win7 and OSX. I select OSX and I get: "Calling Chainbooter" "Bootmgr Missing - Ctrl/Alt/Delete to restart" Here are my BCB settings: There are a total of 2 entries listed in the bootloader. Default: NST Mac OS X Timeout: 30 seconds. EasyBCD Boot Device: C:\ Entry #1 Name: NST Mac OS X BCD ID: {default} Drive: C:\ Bootloader Path: \NST\NeoGrub.mbr Entry #2 Name: Windows 7 BCD ID: {current} Drive: C:\ Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe The problem is above where it says Drive C:\. It's not on C:\ it's on a separate secondary hdd within the PC. Add Mac OS X to the bootloader manually. The easiest way to do that is with EasyBCD. http://neosmart.net/downloads/software/Eas.../Build%2055.exe Found on : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=142582 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/166510-asus-p5n-d-w-windows-7-skips-leopard-boot/#findComment-1157630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
