AzJazz Hi AzJazz, It's possible to multi-boot with OSX. I have a short guide, here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...198088&st=0 Regards, Comodin.

MaLd0n Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I do as follows and always work install mac osx (see photos above) I leave the partition for Windows, I formatted as FAT after finishing the installation of macosx, I start the installation of windows and format the partition that I left as fat (only format) and move on if you have problems, install Chameleon this link http://www.mediafire.com/?jtjndzmyzwo If you use the package up or do a manual installation, should have no problem. The secret is to use the fdisk command included in the binary packages Chameleon. The installer was made up by taking this precaution. Installs only the boot volume and boot1h selected, and the MBR boot0, recording only the initial 440 bytes to avoid damaging the boot of Windows 7 and Vista. It also makes active the selected partition (for partitions and MBR hybrid MBR). Useful for when you need to reinstall Chameleon (Windows installation in dual boot). desculpas pelo meu Ingles Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/223938-does-hackintoshing-allow-multi-booting/#findComment-1505200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzJazz Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Thanks for the feedback, guys! I already have a Win7x64 installation in place on an NTFS+ partition (Something about Win7 changed the way partitions are handled - I think there is a separate metafile partition now). I know that my first Win7x64 installation didn't work reliably until I let M$ reformat my drive. Can I do a multi-boot with my existing Win7x64 installation? Or, do I need to install OSX first, and then reinstall Win7x64 on a new FAT partition(s)? Thanks again, AzJazz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/223938-does-hackintoshing-allow-multi-booting/#findComment-1506290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
