Multiboot: Windows7 + Hackintosh?

How it all began: With the desire to finally install a normal multi-boot window + lion, which would be started by a chameleon from the computer itself without the help of boot flash drives, disks, etc.
What was originally available:

  • Notebook Lenovo SL410.
  • Hard with installed Windows7 and MBR markup.
  • Mac OS X Lion boot disk in hackintosh version.
  • Removable hard drive for 450 Gb.

Available at the moment:
  • All the same Notebook Lenovo SL410.
  • Hard with Lion installed and backup for it, GUID markup, on which 2 more partitions for Windows7 and Lenovo bootloader for it are selected.
  • Removable 450 Gb hard drive, which contains a backup of the entire system at the initial moment.

What's the problem:
I can't teach windows to boot on its own. When trying to revive it (make a bootable disk with it, gptsync, etc.), it alternately gives something like “System not found”, then “boot0: done”, then just a blinking cursor. Installing fresh windows also does not want to be performed, because. after copying and rebooting, it enters the chameleon and cannot continue the installation.
Ps As a result, you need to have Lion and Windows able to boot from under the boor, and Windows with the original content.

I solved a similar problem, at first I tried Acronis Os Selector, but for some reason it did not start - it loaded only the axis from the active partition. Well, then I found this . Tweaked a bit and it worked. I agree in advance - not the most elegant way, but there was no time to mess around.

Stop stop stop. I did not understand anything. You have hackintosh and windows on your laptop. Need to get a boot menu where you can select the OS to boot? Do you know what grub is? If yes, what is the problem? If not, what's the problem with Google?

If I understand your problem correctly, then other alternative loaders should help, with chameleon I myself did not manage to quickly make friends. I installed Boot Think v2.4.6.
When loading, there will be a choice between windows, from under which the bootloader was installed, or the launch of any other OS on other logical drives, it itself has win7 and snow leopard on the same hard drive.

Did you install Windows with AHCI enabled?

Didn't find what you were looking for?
