Paintedeyes Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I know there are guides with for evga x58 motherboards. I've followed all of them and my system is not stable. I have the Evga X58 3xSLI. i'm not using any type of sli as of right now. I have an I7 930 cpu and a gtx 260 evga video card. I've done installations through usb sticks and installing onto the desired hd from my macbook pro. I can boot up into Snow leopard on the hackintosh but it's not stable and I get gray screens of deaths a lot of the time, mostly when i'm trying to download things. I could never install 10.6.2 combo udate. Also I had trouble gettign chameleon to work on the hd, it only worked on the usb stick even though i've done the same exact thing i did with the usb stick to the hd. Anyone able to assist me here? I'm new to this all by the way. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/223959-i-need-help-with-sl-on-evga-x58/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to dual boot without needing the usb thats relatively easy?

MaLd0n Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Yep 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).

I forgot to mention that I have windows 7 already installed on a seperate hard drive and I was trying to install snow leopard on another hard drive. Does this change anything?
