tkato Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 iATKOS7 (updated later via Software Update) Dual-boot Windows 7 (with 2 HDDs, one IDE for Mac one S-ATA for Win), installed on this machine: Abit Fatal1ty F-190HD Motherboard IntelDuoCore 4300@3.15Ghz Ledtek Ge-Force 7800GT 256DDR 2GB RAM (Samsung) 1 IDE HDD WD 80GB (MAC OSX) 1 S-ATA HDD WD 500GB (WINDOWS 7, shared with MAC OSX) Drivers: (the ones I recall) ALL SATA IDE DRIVERS Apple's Mouse&keyboard drivers Azallie Sound Drivers Chameleon 2.1 (installed via terminal before Leopard installation) Nvidia NVINJECT 0.2.1 Intel and Nvidia ethernet drivers NTFS-3G Driver What Works: Most things work, but, and there is a big but, sometimes there's unexpected slow downs, in which the mouse lag and the system is slowed down as well, I Suspect it's due to the sound drivers, but can't be sure yet, slow downs aren't often and come up randomly. Another thing is the MAC OSX sometimes resets for no reason what so ever, it's new and occured one time over the last 24hrs of stressful use. The Last thing is the screen is off-position, which is due to my PC being connected to a 32' VGA Toshiba display. Same thing occurs in Windows 7, but in windows fixing the position with Nvidia Control Panel fixes the problem, while in Mac, such utility does not exist, Any has any ideas for fixing this? Installation Progress: DVD booted fine, at the time I Had a working Windows 7 Installation on the IDE drive, after installing and receiving the "Still Waiting for root device" after booting, Formatted the IDE drive and installed Leopard on it, only to get the same error again, annoyed I installed yet again, this time using the Chameleon 2.01v installer in iATKOS7, telling the bootloader where the OS is. After that Leopard booted fine. Then installed Windows 7, after installation, windows took over the bootmgr not letting me boot OSX even if the IDE HDD is selected as primary boot device (Windows was installed to the S-ATA), issue which was resolved by installing windows again and unhooking the IDE drive from the ribbon, letting windows install without the knowledge of a prior OS installation. After installation and booting, hooked the IDE drive again and voila, as primary boot HDD, Chameleon loaded letting me choose between WINDOWS NTFS, and MAC OSX. Finally I wanted the Windows HDD (500GB) to be shared with MACOSX(80GB) so while in windows I partitioned it, expecting MAC OSX to see the new partition, and strange enough he now sees the 250GB partition of the windows installation and not the new, empty, partition, but it works I guess so no complaints. I'd be glad to answer anyone's question. and will be awesome if someone can resolve mine Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/197576-iatkos7-installation-maybe-these-can-help-someone/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Jeremy Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I hate to bring up an obvious point, but have you checked if there are any screen position settings on your display? My 22" acer monitor has a menu that contains a number of such settings.
