I have followed the same procedure to install these operating system. And infact I have installed these successfully. But when the windows is started in the mid of the startup it stop and gives me a black screen with some options like
- start in safe mode
- start with support of networking
- start in command mode
- start windows normally
when I select the option "start windows normally" it then restarts and give me the rEFIt options....

Tri-Boot Mac OS, Windows XP, Ubuntu
Hi,
This topic seemed to ft my situation best. A tricky one here: How can I tri-boot Mac OS X, Windows XP and Ubuntu all at the same time on my MacBook? In an ideal world I would like to store ubuntu on my external HDD as I already have an install on it so I can use the same install on my desktop when at home as on my laptop when out and about.
Thanks,
Dan.Hi Dan,
this ones a bit old but still applicable http://wiki.onmac.net/index.php/TripleBoot_viaBootCamp
And this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook
Remember: Have/make a backup of your files before trying.

hi guys i used boot camp and turned my mac into windows and i wanted to play a pc game called guild wars 2 and i cant find a proper program to actually setup the game
Only if you decide to share with us your particular situation. Guild Wars should install and run like any other Game. Other than the Game Installer, Games don't need some other installer to make them work. Only someone who reads the instructions for the proper installation.

Dual boot Mac OS X and Arch: Arch installer cannot find CD drive?
Hi, everyone! A friend convinced me to install Arch about a month ago on my desktop and I've loved it so much that I want to dual boot Mac OS X and Arch on my Macbook Pro 7.1.
So I have a Macbook Pro 7.1. I have partitioned the drive in Mac OS X and installed rEFIt. I have the Arch x86_64 disk which I know works because I installed Arch on another computer.
When I boot from CD I get the familiar Arch screen with options "Boot Arch Linux, existing OS... etc." I click boot Arch, and it starts to load. However, it says "Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201005 ... ERROR: boot device didn't show up after 30 seconds... Falling back to interactive prompt. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off."
After searching around the forums, some people said they had similar problems attempting to install via USB. I used "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" and my CD drive does not show up in ramfs.. What can I do to install this amazing OS on my MB Pro 7.1?
Thank you for your time!Solved! sledgehammer and MrE (sorry, I can't spell it) in IRC helped me out. I had to download a newer iso that offers better Mac hardware support. 2010-12 iso

E9280t boots to Starting Windows and then monitor loses signal
PC just arrived last night and is giving me fits. Upon boot it will proceed to the Starting Windows and then the monitor goes black and I get a No Input Signal message. I can hear the Windows startup sounds but it will never go any farther.
I can furiously click to put the system to sleep and after it goes into sleep mode I can power the system off and back on and it will boot to Resuming Windows and then work fine. However the next time I reboot the system it goes back to the Starting Windows issue.
Help please of this thing is going back to HP in pieces.

4GB Flash Drive not loading on Mac (but on Windows and Ubuntu)
Hello,
I have a 4GB flash drive (probably from LG) that I bought about 3 years ago. It was working just fine all this time but now, all of a sudden, it's gone. Not working, showing up neither in Finder nor in Disk Utility. But it works just fine on Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Files are even readable there. I tried re-formatting it on Ubuntu in FAT-32 but it still won't show up on a Mac.
Any other flash drive is showing up on my computer (tested with 2 different ones).
Any clue?I don't claim to know the solution to your problem, but in your situation I would try either or both administrator install methods: 1) Right-click the downloaded install file, choose "Run as Administrator" and install the software as usual. 2) Try using a different Windows account that you are positively certain has full administrator rights or the actual Administrator login name, install with that account.
Also, make sure you empty the browser cache before retrying the http pages. What about other browser settings, like security or privacy settings? Any add-ons or antivirus browser helper objects?
Do you only use Internet Explorer, or is this issue the same in Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari?
Good luck, hope you get the error fixed. -
What is wrong with Apple's support of printers ... inability for MacBook Pros to connect with HP and other printers. Yet the same printers
work under Mac OS based Parallels (running Windows or Ubuntu) - WHY? Finger pointing (HP . Apple ... Apple > HP) ... who cares ... FIX IT ... this has gone on for months now. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?HP discontinued support (read: stopped updating their OS X printer drivers) for a lot of their printers back when Apple released Snow Leopard and dropped even more when Lion was released. This is an HP problem, not an Apple problem.
Exacty what printers are you having problems with?
If any of your printers are on the HPIJS list, try installing the HPIJS drivers (there are 3 files to install, and it won't hurt anything). This solved the issue for me on Snow Leopard, Lion and Mt. Lion with my older HP printers. -
Can I dual boot Mac with Windows?
Hi all,
At the moment I have Windows 7 32 bit OS. I've always wanted either an iMac, or atleast the Mac OS. I've recently found out it's only £20.99, and i've always thought it was a lot more than that, which is a bargain! The only thing which is stopping me from buying it at the moment, is that certain programs which I use reguarlarly won't work on Mac, and I really need those programs. Is their anyway I could dual-boot it with Windows 7, so I give Windows 7 say only 8gb of my hard drive, and Mac the rest?
I will appreciate any answers, and thanks for tackling this for me!ryanroks1 wrote:

Is an Intel Mac just an Intel Processor, with Mac OS?
Yes Macs changed to Intel Processors in about 2007. You can upgrade as far as Lion with a Core2Duel Processor or better. CoreDuos will only update as far as Snow Leopard.
Hope this helps

Moved from Mac to Windows and DNxHD files will not relink
Hi, as I have benn having problems getting '1080p/25 DNxHD 36' files to play smoothly on Mac I have booted into windows and thought I would give it a go. I installed the Avid Codec pack and launched the project.
It came up with the relink dialog and I started selecting the files (bit annoying, what if it was a big project, would I have to spend a day just relinking). I select the first file and got a error saying 'canont link media' and 'The selected file canot be relinked because its type (audio) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)'. so I clicked cancel. I played the file in windows and it had audio and video. I then tried importing it in premiere and it thinks it is audio only;(.
Any ideas?
BenIf you attempt to start a new project and import one of those files does it allow you to simply import them?

Ext Firewire: Booting Mac OS(extended) and still having a FAT32 part.
Hello-
Anyone have any tricks to be able to partition a drive: 1 Fat32 and the other Extended/Journaled, that will enable someone to load OS X on the extended journal and still have the Fat32?
I've tried a bunch of different utilities on both the mac and PeeC, but am not able to do this... Here is what I've found:
- If I partition the drive in 2, I am forced to choose PC or Mac boot
- If I choose Mac boot, I am able to load os X, but can't format the 2nd partition FAT32
- If I choose PC boot, I am not able to load os X, but can create both an extended and FAT32 partitian.
Any tricks to get around this? Thanks.

PBG4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)This hint appeared at MacOSXHints.com and pretty much explains how it can be done. There may be additional coverage at the site, but this one popped up quickly.
A drive must be formatted as one MS-DOS partition by default. If you format the drive MS-DOS you cannot also create an HFS partition without some sort of trick as referenced above.
Of course you can format the drive Mac OS Extended and partition it to your hearts content. Then use Windows software like MacDrive to enable reading and writing Mac disks on the PC.

Hmm.. I'm not sure that's how I'd interpret the warranty statement in the EULA.
I don't think it means that your license is void if you get a virus, but rather that the warranty of the performance of the software might be void. I would also postulate that it's not a permanent void. Reloading should be fine.
My interpretation is that MS is reasonably saying that if the OS malfunctions because it is infected by a virus that they aren't responsible to fix the code. I.e. if you escalate a bug as a normal course of action, they would support it under the terms of the warranty, but if the bug were the result of virus corruption, then they aren't on the hook.
In any event - interesting discussion, but in practice... clean the virus or reload, right?
Plenty of good reasons to like Windows or to like Linux.
Different strokes for different folks, right?

Boot camp crashes windows and corrupts personal data
When I try to use bootcamp to restart in OSX it normally crashes Windows and corrupts all the application settings - very annoying. Is there any other way to get it to restart in OSX without the data loss?
In another thread I created that is similar to this thread in that I wanted to find out how I can reclaim my missing 32GB after the first crash (the answer is run Disk Utilities from the Leopard instal DVD), a gentleman suggested that I do not have 32GB of contiguous space on the drive - the physical space on the drive by sector.
This makes total sense. Now I just have to figure out how to do an image of my system drive, reformat the drive, and restore that image to the drive. This makes me a bit nervous and I am not entirely sure on the step-by-step procedure as to how this is done.
Perhaps someone can offer a step-by-step guide? -
