Danaan Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 never used iatkos's SL distro. maybe post a screenshot of its install customization options/drivers and we'll take it from there? I use Leohazard's distro and dual boot with chameleon rc3, and also succesfully updated from 10.6.2 to 10.6.4 from apple software update (: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/223397-snow-leopard-and-win-7-on-e725/#findComment-1503325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
