This is a great guide. One major issue for me. Once the Win 7 installation finishes, when it reboots, I stare at the dreaded blinking cursor. I followed the steps exactly up until that point. Any ideas here?

is there any way to prepare the USB device for the Mac OS 10.6 installation without having an apple computer???

Thanks for your help!

I followed all of the steps and everything works perfectly except for after I install Windows 7. Easy BCD is all set up fine and when I choose Mac at startup from teh two choices, it loads and brings me to the grey Apple logo screen where it gets stuck =( I have tried rebooting several times and still get stuck on the Apple logo without the spinning thing below it. Any suggestions?


FIXED! (at least for now lol)
I rebooted and when it was loading (before the apple logo screen) it said "press any key for advanced options" or something along those lines. Once I pressed the "any" key =P it showed the boot media (Mac and Win7). I then pressed Tab and got to the verbose boot screen. I then typed "-v -f" and hit enter and it booted up just fine! Now to fix the sound and we should be good.

P.S. I have the Dell Mini 10v and I'm running OS 10.5.6 (couldn't get snow leopard to work)

I have some problems. I have followed every guild and no dice. Everytime i try to boot to the OSX partition i get:File: \NST\nst_mac.mbr Status: 0xc00000f Info: the selected entry could not be loaded becaus the application is missing or corrupt. I have had it working before. WHAT IS THE DEAL?
