The screen stop before Leopard installer screen. The last line reads: "Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform" has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style."

This guide is incorrect!!! Mac OS X installer will not complete the installation to a drive that has the MBR partition table (if vista/7 already installed). If you are starting from scratch format your drive to GUID and then install Windows and Mac on separate partitions. My solution was to install to a USB drive (16GB) and then use SupeDuper to copy the installation to an MBR partition on my Windows drive. Mac OS X can run on a MBR partition, it's the installer that has issues with it.

Hi aymund!

I don't have any menu options under "utilities" called "Darwin Boot" (as I mentioned in my first command 'I couldn't complete a few steps').. Even when I try to install OSX again it won't appear :(
Do you know how that could be?

Thanks for trying to help me! :)

I attached a screenshot of the OS X installer with the active dropdown menu:

dizziii, i found the solution to my problem, and that's the solution to your problem as well. I think atleast. What to do to fix the "Chain boot error"

Boot from your iAtkos 1.0i disk again. Let it prepare the installation, but when the installation screen pops up, go to ultilities > darwin boot.

When it ask's for HDD, type 1. Do not type 0, because for some reason it doesnt work out.
Then select your partition as normal and let it install. You wont get errors.

I now have another problem because my boot progress gets stuck at a certain point, but im trying to fix this as well.

Good luck all.

Here i am again.
I noticed in my screenshot of de BCDEDIT the 'device' property of the OSX is the same as de property of my Windows 7. (just to be clear, i'm talking about this: 'device: partition=C: ' as you can see in my CMD screenshot of my first comment)

I remember that in the steps of the tutorial that I couldn't complete (see my first comment below) was said something about partitions, so I tough this could maybe be the problem..

I tried to figgure out which command line I needed for modify the property and I used this:
bcdedit /set {d0254f8d-9f26-11df-87d0-54424962fb9a} device partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume5

(bcdedit /set {id of Max OS X} device partition=The device I installed Max OSX on)

By doing this, the device property was changed :).. Unfortunately, no succes after a reboot :(.. I still get the same result when I try to boot my system in Mac OS X.

(I attached a new screenshot of my bcdedit overview)

Does anybody have a suggestion? :)

I also have the issue a lot of people described below me;
chain booting error.

I tried multiple fixes but nothing seems to solve the problem.
I did however copy the correct GUID. The bcdedit command is nothing new for me. I know nothing could've go wrong there. The only think i could think of is that the CHAIN0 file is corrupted. Can someone verify this, or propose another way to fix this? Thanks.

Hi!

I completed the OSX installation succesfully, and when i reboot my noteboot, I'm able to select Windows 7 or Mac OS X as oparating system. If I select windows 7, it works fine! :). But when I select Max OS X, my notebook is starting a windows7 (or vaio) recovery software (or something like that) and not the 'familiar darwin boot loading screen.'

NOTE:
I couldn't complete the following steps because there was no menu option called ''darwin boot' under 'Utilities'.. So I passed these steps and followed the further instructions in the tutorial.:

Now Close Disk Utility and Select Utilities -> Darwin Boot. Type Y at the prompt.
At the prompt when it asks for the Disk Number enter 0. For the Partition Number if your Leopard Partition is 2nd on the disk, then enter 2 and so on.
Accept the following prompts and you should see a success prompt saying that so many block of data were written successfully.

(I attached a screenshot of my CMD while I gave this command: bcdedit)Is anyone familiar with this problem?

edit:
I have a Sony Vaio Notebook. Type: VPC EC3M1E

- Intel® Core™ i5-460M-processor
- ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5650-graphics

PS: Excuse me for my bad english, i'm from Holland :)
Thank you!

Little edit:
After last command I have path \chain0 in module Mac OS X, but it not run - ""

My bcdedit:
==============
ID {current}
device partition=C:
path \Windows\system32\winload.exe
description Windows Vista (TM) Ultimate (recovered)
osdevice partition=C:
systemroot \Windows
resumeobject {f7084c6c-bfb6-11e0-ac4f-806e6f6e6963}

ID {44ca0928-bfbf-11e0-9050-dc9bae1effd6}
device partition=C:
path \chain0
description Mac OS X
osdevice partition=C:
systemroot \Windows
resumeobject {f7084c6c-bfb6-11e0-ac4f-806e6f6e6963}
===========
..probably i should change device, osdevice and systemroot, but for what value??

Hi
Exactly like Ec, after finish tutorial, when I chose Windows - windows starts up fine. But when I choose "Mac OS X", still starts up windows.
When I run "bcdedit" I saw two identical modules with path \Windows\system32\winload.exe. This one added by me with command 'bcdedit /copy {current} /d "Mac OS X"' had the same path and guid. Last command ('bcdedit /set {GUID} PATH \chain0') didn't work (in "GUID" i of course paste GUID I received in previous command). But when run command ''bcdedit /set {current} PATH \chain0' it works fine - changed path for "Mac OS X" module.
...but anywat - both of them ("Windows" and "Mac OS X") runs Windows :/
How can I change path to run Mac OS??
