scarygood536 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hello everyone. I was hoping you guys can give me some pointers or possible help fix my problem that I have after succesfully(or atleast os x was) insalling iatkos 7. Heres my problem.... After trying to install os x a couple of times to an external HDD and having no luck with it booting i finally bit the bullet (harder than i wish i had). I partitioned Drive 0 partition 1 to another volume. This volume is being uesd for os X. So I installed iatkos 7 by dvd on boot up. I typed cpus=1 and -v start up started fine and i installed the desired patches as well as format the partition. installatioon was successful. System rebooted on its own and went to comeleon where i typed -s and put in the fsdisk commands. Rebooted. Then I booted up in os x. So maybe the installation wasn't perfect b\c i have a keyboard, sound, resolution and wireless problem(which can all be fixed but updates) . but, none the less os x worked. now i was going to get the updates from windows 7. I rebooted and at cemeleon i went to NTFS filesystem. It pointed me to the windows MBR. I hit enter on windows 7 and imediatly it tells me to run startup repair by putting in my disk. SO.. Windows 7 wound boot (joy ) So I got out the repair disk and loaded every thing and click repair... Windows repair cant see windows 7 installation. So i go insto the cmd prompt and went to the partition manager and set partition 1 (windows 7) as active. I rebooted and got the same error so i when to repair again. This time windows sees the installation of 7 and tells me there is a configuration problem and need to repair and restart. ok fine. So i did it and windows wanted to be the defualt bootloader again. good. now i press windows 7 and it loads to the windows flag and the wireless button lights up(letting me know the adaptar has been enabled) then it says auto check not found skipping check (i assume its chkdsk trying to run.) then the system reboots. When trying to repair again it says it cannot fix the problem. ok so windows says that the drive is inacessable code something like 00000x000E. When I was in OSX i could browse all of the windows files and when i tryed to flag it in fsdisk it says it doesn't have permission. So thats where I'm at I'm stuck. I ran chkdsk in cmd, fixed the partition, repaired the mbr. System wont start with last good, safe mode,or anyof the other options. I rather not format the partition because of all the media and the dumb itunes. I did format my recovery partition becuase its a recovery for factory settings of vista which i upgraded from. I currently reinstalled windows 7 on that partition so i can uses 1 windows to fix the other if needed. Please If someone can help me out it be greatly appriciated... Thanks a lot, Jeff p.s. IEspell on on this computer yet will have it for next time sorry for spelling errors.

scarygood536 Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 ok I got windows 7 64x (so there is 2 now on my computer) running fully on my laptop. I can see my all the files on the first win 7 partition. Also I didn't mention this in the first post but Ubuntu is installed through the first linux so i will be Triple booting actual quad-booting if you include the 2nd win 7. *now if i set partition 2 (osx) to active cameleon does not load it just stays on blinking line. ~ I'm not worried getting os x working yet I rather have a working windows than osx thats buggy and needs updating.

scarygood536 Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 ok so I ran chkdsk again only using chkdsk /r... Its taking a long time on part 4 stuck at 15% maybe a good sign if its fixing something... also my next step is to go into disk part again and see if partition 1 is hidden. If thats the case i'll run SET ID=07? That sound right? Any ideas that could help? *** ok update---Partition is not hidden chkdsk \r didn't change anything still cant boot running sfc /scannow notta its like the disk is protected and can't edit itself b\c it couldn't save the chkdsk file Ideas please!!
