Wackintosh Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 If your screen is black that means that your video driver isn't compatible. I successfully installed iATKOS 10.5.7 on a vaio. If you are saying you can't boot back to windows because your screen is black, that means that the boot menu was over written by mac os. You will have to type several commands to mount back the first partition. You can look it up, it has to do with rd disk0 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/255509-installing-iatkos-v7-on-sony-vaio-help/#findComment-1675081 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wackintosh Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I said if your hard drive isn't booting into your main partition, you would need to mount the first one as primary. Sometimes a partition application such as EaseUs can work too. You would have to boot it up and set the main drive as "Active" If however your screen doesn't show up its because your graphics card isnt supported. If you mean that your screen is constantly black and you cant even boot back into windows, then you did something with your hardware. You could have possibly messed up your whole system. If you can't boot from a disc to reinstall windows or you can't even see your bios, then there is nothing much that anyone can help you with. Either your graphics card isn't working, your screen isn't working, your screen or graphics card isnt properly connected OR your CPU or motherboard is dead.
