Rogiervd Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Hi, i have a new system and i wanted to have a dual boot. I have 2 HDD's one for Mountain Lion and one for Windows 7. I have a succesfull dual boot on my laptop but i can't get it working on this machine. I installed Windows first and after that Mountain Lion successful. I installed all my needed kext and got it working and my bootloader works. But now i can't boot into windows anymore. When i select System Reserved the windows Flag comes up and then restarts. Could someone please explain i can't boot into system recovery because it says: This option for System Restore isn't available with your version of windows. (Don't know i translated it from dutch since i have a dutch install DVD). Maybe i need to write a new MBR from Mac? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ameris_cyning Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Ok. I suffer from something similar to your issue. The only solution for me that worked was using Clover EFI instead of Chameleon. I know Chameleon is the standard and it has time and time again shown its power, but Clover is changing the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinMcG Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 2 separate hard disks ? u must have left windows hdd plugged in while u installed osx in other hdd. make windows disk active in the reserved parttition 100mb then run the windows setup to repair startup. i have windows 7 x2 and linux in partitions. and a second hdd for osx only. linux boot menu i modded custom: setroot (hd1) chainloader+1 with insmod hfsplus however this wont work if a USB device gets on way and changes HD# (i have to unplug usb hdds or no osx boot) this way each hard disk has its own bootsector so i can unplug either and still boot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
