Use any hazar loader then replace only the grldr file. Then you're done. Just follow the instructions included with the beta zmnin loader.
Can you tell me , please, where to get the best hazar loader, and how to activate on my macpro? Can u plase?
I could activate Vista using Vistaloader but on RARE occasions it would say not activated. If I rebooted again it would say activated. Go figure! On this occasion I activated Windows 7 using Hazar's 7loader 1.5.exe and so far it has been activated on every boot but now with ZSMIN's grldr it loads so much faster. With ZSMIN's latest Grub Loader hopefully this will overcome the unstable activation problems. How do I tell if my hard disks are recognised as AHCI? I am using the latest Western Digital and Seagate SATA drives and with Snow Leopard drivers they are all accessible through Windows 7 without any further patches.
As far as I can tell, all SATA disks are recognised by Intel Macs as AHCI disks, but that's only in Mac OS X. It appears that, for the convenience of Boot Camp users, Apple decided that if a non-Mac partition is chosen to boot, the SMC switches the disks to IDE (legacy) mode, so, when Vista or Windows 7 boot, they only see an IDE disk, not AHCI, and you can't install AHCI in a system that has booted from non-ACHI disks! The only "easy" fisk I'm aware of is a hacked Master Boot Record (for XP, Vista and Windows 7) made by johnsock (look it up in Google). It's a script that you need to run as a superuser from the Terminal (Mac OS X). (Basically, the hack consists in having the MBR switch the disks back to AHCI mode.) Then, from the Windows end, you need to change a key of the registry. Then, the next time you boot into Windows, it'll detect the ACHI disks and install a badly written driver from Microsoft. Then you can download the good stuff from Intel. In a couple of boots after that, you have AHCI disks for Windows. Be aware, though, that if you implement johnsock's hack, you MIGHT lose activation, as that hack may interfere with the MBR call to grub. If you want to see if your Windows 7 sees AHCI disks now, do the following: Start Button -> Right click on Computer -> Manage, then continue. Device Manager on the left, open IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers on the right. If the last one says "Intel(R) ESB2 SATA AHCI Controller", Windows can see AHCI; if not, you are in IDE mode, which is not that bad.
Well well. I used Windows 7 Loader Version 1.5 by Orbit30Hazar It worked perfect, only with the 45 segs blinking cursor. What can I do to fix that delay? I read this on the newloader_beta4 3. Copy my replacement grldr to the root of your Windows partition. You will need to overwrite the grldr already present (Hazar's). 4. You may optionally (recommended) also copy grldr_hazar_original as a backup. Is this what I need to do? But where are those files in my windows 7 partition?
grldr is a system, read-only, hidden file, and it's in the root of C: In the following explantation, I'm going to assume that you've placed the new grldr on your desktop and that your user's name is virplay. Open a Command window as administrator and enter: C: CD\ attrib -h -r -s grldr ren grldr grldr.hazar copy C:\Users\virplay\Desktop\grldr attrib +h +r +s grldr You are done.
Can I do it on my mac?, If I open my Win 7 drive in mac finder, I can see some of those "file" (bootmgr, grldr). I attach here a jpg file Thx
Yes, as ifeife2 explained, you can if you have write access to NTFS disks in OS X. If you do, simply rename grldr to grldr.hazar, copy the new grldr to the root of your Windows partition and it should just work. Then, when you boot into Windows, simply open a Command window as administrator and enter: C: CD\ attrib +h +r +s grldr This is only to make it normally invisible to Windows Explorer, but its functionality won't change a bit. If you don't have write access to NTFS from OS X, follow my previous instructions.
Thx a lot (gracias ). my english is not so good and what I undersand is: I rename grldr to grldr.hazar in my win 7 partition. Then I copy the new grldr (from newloader_beta4) to my Win 7 partition (in the same root as the old grldr Then, I boot into Windows, simply open a Command window as administrator and enter: C: CD\ attrib +h +r +s grldr
Gracias Ok, now I have two grldr in my Win 7 partition The old grldr rename to grldr.hazar And the new grldr from newloader_beta4 But now how do I open a Command window as administrator? Sorry for so many questions
I'm not entirely certain about the wording of the different elements in your Spanish version of W7, but it might be something like this: Botón de inicio -> Todos los programas -> Accesorios -> Herramientas del sistema -> Comando del sistema (right click; botón derecho). A contextual menu should appear. Select "Ejecutar como administrador".
I checked the Device Manager and it is still in IDE mode. Peter you are not going to believe this but I have access to a 2007 Desktop MacPro which I could NEVER get activated with any loader. I installed Hazar 7loader 1.5 and as I expected it was not activated. So I replaced the grldr in the bootcamp directory with zsmin's Mac Loader Beta 4 and it is now activated! Unbelievable. So it would appear that zsmin's new grldr not only shortens the boot time but it also activates Macs more reliably.
