Bruce Wang Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 You have to partition the unallocated space in WIN7 first. Boot from the install DVD. From menu bar, click TOOL\ DISK UTILITY, then convert the empty partition into HFS+. Exit DISK UTILITY and back to installation, you will find the right place to install.

Please elaborate i am new at this. THANKS!! in win7, create a new simple volume in the unallocated space, format it as ntfs, if you can't find it in the ideneb disk utility then go back to windows and format is as fat32. i don't know which one works if not both. find the volume in disk utility and then erase it and format it as journaled for OS x and then install as usual also can you send me a link to where you got ideneb or tell me how you got it to work. i can't make anything work on my tf-20.
