Dell Inspiron 1318 - dual booting

[usmalu]

Hi folks,

 

Thanks a lot for helping other installations.  I had installed Mac OS X lion 10.7 on my Dell Inspiron 1318 along with Windows 7 ultimate.  But I can't get the dual boot working.  PC boots directly to OSX.  Can someone help me with the dual booting?  I followed the vanila install.

 

The system is intel core 2 duo t5800

Intel GMA x3100 gpu

4 gb ram

 

Ps:

 

I have the following dual booted successfully;

 

1.  TWO Dell Latitude D430 (windows 7 and Os X Lion 10.7)

2.  ONE HP Pavilion G62-144DX (Windows 7 and Os X Mavericks, Intel core i3-330m and first generation gpu)

3.  One Lenovo G460 ((Windows 7 and Os X Mavericks, Intel core i5-520m and first generation gpu)

 

All of the above works without any problem, except the sleep. 

 

Please help me with dual boot.

 

Thanks for all your help.

Are you using myHack?

Do you have Chameleon org.chameleon.boot.plist in /Extra set to time out or quiet boot?

Ok, I see you have 5 sec timeout. So you're not seeing the Windows icon, but only the Mac icon?

 

Try launching Chameleon Wizard, under Install Tab. Check the Install Method and change it to match your setup and hit Install.

i.e. Boot0hfs for OS X and Windows

[usmalu]

I did what you said, but nothing has changed.  please help.  thanks.

[Jake Lo]

If you hit F12 during boot, do you see your Windows HDD as a boot option?

[usmalu]

It's on the same hdd.  I have two partitions, one with Windows and the other os x lion.  

[Hervé]

What's the partitioning scheme of the HDD? MBR or GPT? How were each OS installed? For instance, Lion installed on an existing MBR partitioned HDD with Win7 or Win7 installed after OS X on a GPT partitioned HDD? In which order are the partitions? OS X 1st and Win7 2nd or the other?
 
You should be able to boot your Win7 CD/DVD in repair mode, go to DOS prompt and run the DISKPART utility to check the active partition. You may have to change the currently active partition to the other one.
 
You should also see the Win7 NTFS partition once booted in Lion. If you don't, then it probably doesn't exist (deleted or overwritten).
 
Example #1: D630 with 160Go HDD
. GTP partitioning scheme with 1 Lion partition + 1 ML partition (both OS X Extended (journaled)) + 1 Win7 partition (NTFS)
. Chameleon r2456 in Boot0hfs mode installed on Lion partition

Hi,

 

This is what I see in the disk utility as shown in the attached.  It looks like some reason, I have overwritten the ntfs file system.  

 

Is it advisable to install windows 7 after lion or can I install windows 7 now?

 

Thanks.

 

 

[Hervé]

Simply boot off your Win7 CD/DVD, select the FAT-prepared empty partition, format it NTFS and install Win7 on it. Leave the existing Lion partition untouched. Use Chameleon Wizard and (re)install the Boot0hfs mode as a precaution.
