alucard_xs Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hello everyone, Well I installed Lion on hard drive 1 and I've got Windows 7 on hard drive 2 (can't make a working dual boot by the way ...) Lion works great windows 7 too but when after using Windows 7, I can not boot Lion anymore ... it just hangs at the "PCI configuration begins" ... In order to make it work, I need to unplug hard drive 3 where no operating system is installed ... weird isn't it ? After that, Lion works until I boot Windows 7 and then, Lion won't boot anymore ... until I plug (this time) hard drive 3 ... Is there something to do ? Thanks.

CooSee Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 i have 3 HDs ! 1. WinXP < --- default Boot (MBR) 2. Lion < --- Chameleon 3. Snow < --- Chameleon i'am using MainBoards BootMenu, e.g. F12, so i don't have to bother with Dual or Triple Boot {censored}, it's a waste of time, IMHO. it takes just 2 sec to choose the HD i want to boot.

CooSee Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 install ' Macdrive ' for WinDows and edit your ' com.Apple.Boot.plist ' you should also take a look to the Logs ! Macdrive 30 day trial ! how did you install Lion ? USB Stick Method ? if yes, then try to boot Lion with the Stick. good luck CooSee ' Ya Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/262354-lion-doesnt-boot-anymore-after-using-windows-7/#findComment-1714563 Share on other sites More sharing options...

albert-e Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 thanks but it still does not work ... damn it I do not know what to do ... I suggest you use EASYBCD as your Multiboot Manager. This should help you a lot. Here's the link: http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 or the free for limited, non-commercial use here (enclosed). You have to install this in your Windows 7 partition. Create one for OS X Lion.
