Rendy Rinaldy Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Hi Guys, I have GIGABYTE GA-EP43-UD3L motherboard (Intel C2D E7300, nVidia 9600GT, RAM Corsair 2GB (1GBx2 800MHz, SATA DVD-RW LiteOn, Seagate 320GB Harddrive). I already have Mac OS X Snow Leopard Upgrade Disc that i bought from Apple Store for $34 . I also have a running Macbook with Snow Leopard installed. I want to install Snow Leopard + Windows 7 Ultimate to this system. I search the forum, but I don't have Leopard running on that PC. I only have Windows 7 Ultimate running on that PC. Can someone give simple step-by-step how to install Snow Leopard and Windows 7 (multiboot) ? I installed Leopard once on GA-P35-DS3L (iDeneb), but I can't manage it to multiboot and my printer doesn't work. So i delete it again .

Thank you I made up a helpful post over at InfiniteMac The GA-EP43-UD3L Motherboard, and how I installed Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6 And there is also one here made by someone else EP43-UD3L 10.6 SL Snow Leopard Install Sadly nether one really covers setting up a dualboot, I did a little in my post but I cheated, I used a second hard drive and used the BIOS to select what hard drive to boot, by pressing F12 when the computer is booting Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/203047-ga-ep43-ud3l-install-guide/#findComment-1363949 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must do a dual-boot to install because the computer is shared to other family member. Btw, thanks for your links.

Btw, thanks for your links. I know this wont help you, because you don't have an extra hard drive, but if you did, you could select your Windows hard drive to always boot in the BIOS, and every time someone else booted your computer, it would always boot to Windows, but when you wanted to boot OS X you would just restart the computer and press F12 to select the hard drive with OS X. Good Luck Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/203047-ga-ep43-ud3l-install-guide/#findComment-1368289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rendy Rinaldy Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 I know this wont help you, because you don't have an extra hard drive, but if you did, you could select your Windows hard drive to always boot in the BIOS, and every time someone else booted your computer, it would always boot to Windows, but when you wanted to boot OS X you would just restart the computer and press F12 to select the hard drive with OS X. Good Luck Next time I buy computer I will buy two harddisk to install OSX. I have another PC (GA-P35-DS3L) that have 2 harddisk, but both of them are full. I will buy 1TB External HD to backup and install OSX. So, no way Dual-Boot for 1 harddisk?

Its going to come down to doing a lot of searching and reading in the forums Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/203047-ga-ep43-ud3l-install-guide/#findComment-1376193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akara Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I am sure there is a way, I just just cheated, and never learned how to do it the other way. Its going to come down to doing a lot of searching and reading in the forums Install SL to the 2nd partition on the disk using a GUID partition scheme, and then install windows 7 to partition one and use something like EasyBCD to add your OS X partition to the windows boot loader Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/203047-ga-ep43-ud3l-install-guide/#findComment-1376762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
