Hi All,

 

Looking for some guidance.
 

Decided to go and Install Mavericks 10.9 on my Dell XPS Studio 9000. It appears to be working (for the most part)  I installed it using this guide found HERE ~ Niresh Method.    After I used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to finish the post installation with Chimera. 

I'm having some issues with a few things (More information below). I'm currently unable to get the boot loader to load for dual booting from OSX and Windows 7.

Hoping someone here can guide me in the right direction. Initially I was just playing around as I didnt think I would have been able to succesfully run OSX on my dell. Now I’d like to actually dual boot Win 7 Home Premium and OSX 10.9 using both if possible. One thing I'd like to mention is that I have everything backed up that is essential to me. I am open to completely formatting and starting over if necessary. Obviously I'd like for this to work without all that hassle... but open to it none-the-less. 

First Thing First,

AFTER Install

I received the infamous boot0 error.  After searching I found a lot of posts regarding this matter. I've tried a couple different solutions. Nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions?

I have attempted the following fixes for this issue:

After all these attempts I am receiving the same issue. Anyone have an idea how I should proceed? Is there something I am missing?  This is driving me crazy. 
I am able to boot to both partitions using the Niresh 10.9 Mavericks USB Key as long as I boot into the "Recovery Partition" for Windows 7 or OSX Mavericks.
