nuevo9 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hi guys, I've got another problem. I put windows 7 on a partition of my drive (same as leopard iPC) and now I can't boot into mac. Any chance of some help? Even pointing me in the right direction would really help. Not sure how to get the option to boot into OSX again - I read something about MBR being deleted by Windows 7 but I didn't really understand it.

nuevo9 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 I've searched what seems like the entire internet and I can't seem to find a fix for this. Are there any other forums about hackintosh? I've posted two threads now and not so much as a reply.

Poco Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 We realize it but there are other ways of searching without using the forum search. You can as booger_sniffer5000 pointed use google with site:insanelymac.com Or for those that are on the new theme you can use the powered by google search box which I believe is the same as using the regular google with the site address. For the question answered I had no problem. Installed pc_efi on the osx partition and then used EasyBCD to add the OS X option at startup.

vpatel91 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 umm, in the first post you said you installed in the same partition as OSX...i think you meant same HDD the reason in prob wont boot is b/c OSX isnt marked as active...further more, the MBR does kinda get screwed up with Vista/Win7 you should find the fix easily by googling.
