oldtopman Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 please use some punctuation capitalization would help too you will look like a spammer until you type correctly it is also easier to read /english teacher Afaik nobody else has this problem. Did you install 7 first then use Disk Utility to partition OSX? If so then you have a problem with MBR and GUID clashing. The only way to install OSx86 with win7 is to not use disk utility to create the mac partition. If you need a guide try mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonb21 Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Hello i just did a reinstall of Snow and it is dual booting just fine now im guessing it was a MBR and GUID clash working like a charm. Also I'm sorry for my bad english i don't really have an excuse bad typing? also i didn't mean to look like a spammer either. ~Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtopman Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 *Swears at self for being too hard on the noob and forgetting that english isn't everybody's first language* We have recently had an influx of spammers who just show up saying the did something stupid, are too lazy to look it up for themselves, and demand an answer from us. /history lesson As long as you don't use Disk Utility to create the HFS+ partition, you should be okay. You might want to try GParted as outlined in my guide here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
