FxFire Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Ok, here's what all is going on NOW. I just join here, yes, but I've been on here for quite a while as a guest to follow along a few threads trying to accomplish this which I'm about to explain. Basically what I'm doing is a triple-boot XPS m1730. I have Windows 7 on my laptop, which would be a RAIDed HDD. Then I have my Mac OSx and Linux Mint on my 640 GB External HDD. I have my laptop autobooting to Windows when nothing plugs in, and when my External is plugged in it'll boot up Chameleon. If I click Linux from there it boots up SGD-Super Grub Disk which boots Linux, if I click Windows, it'll boot it, if I click Mac, it'll boot it. Seems Chameleon works fine. Now to specify everything. I have 4 partitions on my External. 300 gigs to just an external which I keep any files I want on it, 100 gigs for Linux, 150 for Mac, and the rest went to Linux swap. I've had a few problems here and there, such as just trying to get the iATKOS v7 CD to install, getting it to boot, blahblahblah. I've gotten it to install finally, and was able to boot into it no problem, except the fact that when I would try to scroll through anything, it would seem to 'stick' I guess you'd say. Meaning I would be scrolling through, but I could still see what I just scrolled through, like a picture ontop of what I am scrolling though. But it wasn't much of a problem. I could still what I needed to click. I filled out what all it needed me to, (noticed it never gave me a wireless option to hook up to the internet) and booted it on up. After seeing everything was ok, I didn't boot up any apps seeing as how I like to keep everything up to date. Because basically what I'm doing is installing this iATKOS v7, updating it to whatever 10.5.8 or whatever it is, and making sure I can get all the drivers I need to get it to work. Then I have the retail version of Snow Leopard downloaded which I'm then going to install from the Leopard install. If you guys could keep up with that jumpled mess then congrats to you haha. So I guess basically here is what I'm asking of you fellas to help me out with, if you would so kindly. I installed Mac and booted fine, restarted into Windows so I could get internet, tried to see if I could do anything about the drivers I needed, and found a thread which showed a XPS m1530 which had a good install which some of the drivers that I didn't install, so I booted my DVD back up, and did the upgrade option with what all I needed. Computer restarted and it gets to the Apple logo, then it darkens and comes up saying Please Reboot blahblah. I can reboot any number of times and it always gives me this option. So obviously I need to reinstall which I have no problem doing, but I would like for someone to point me to what options I need checked when installing, and after my install, if someone could maybe point me to some more updated drivers from some way to get my wireless internet? That's my main problem out of everything, because my router is downstairs and I can't hook it up through wired. Also not sure if my audio worked, I do believe it said no audio devices hooked up when I was looking through my settings. For those who stuck through all this, thank you oh so very much. So if you could help with that, and then maybe the Snow Leopard install after all this, I thank you very much. All help is appreciated. I believe this is all my specs on my computer, in detail. http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...ables#XPS_M1730 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/194326-install-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
