n1n9tean Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hi all. I want to start out first by saying that while I'm am absolutely comfortable with tinkering with my system and doing whatever I have to do, I don't have any programing skills. Everything I do, I do it by following guides I find online. Here is the guide I followed, which was pretty easy to do.>> http://lifehacker.com/5672051/how-to-build...ll+(Lifehacker) With that out of the way, I have successfully installed Snow Leopard (10.6.4, when I tried 10.6.5 I got a kernel panic so I went back to 10.6.4) and Windows 7 on the same machine on two separate hard drives; but I have just two, probably easily fixable issues. The first issue is that I can no longer boot without the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] disc in the drive. Without the disc I get the message "Missing Operating System." I HAD Chameleon bootloader working (via [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]); but that was before I re-installed windows 7 under the new BIOS settings (the ones you have to change in order to install OSX). Both operating systems boot pretty much perfectly with the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] disc....except... I can't seem to get audio to come back in Snow Leopard. It was working before (again, before I re-installed Windows 7). I ran the kexts VoodooHDA and Realtek R1000SL. I have tried running them again after the Win7 re-install. Didnt work. So, in summary, my two problems are that I can't get OSX to boot without [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] in the drive ("Missing Operating System message after BIOS screen, but Windows 7 loads just as always when I switch its drive to the primary drive). I have tried running the latest version of [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] numerous times. and I can no longer get any audio in OSX after re-installing Windows 7 (on its own drive, so that it would boot under the new BIOS settings). One last note is that audio has, a couple times, gone out in Windows 7. But what I did is shut my computer down, unplugged it and held the power button for 5-10 seconds. The audio comes back the next time I start Windows. That didn't seem to work when I tried it for OSX (though, I only tried it once). Please offer any ideas you might have on how to correct these two problems. Thank you. I have not tried the "DSDT" thing for [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] yet. Is that something that could fix one or both of the issues? Should I just set my Windows hard drive (since windows boots normally from power on to login this way) as the 1st hard drive and somehow use EasyBSD?
