[QUOTE="cedrox, post: 1120739, member: 174561"] [b]Ipartition[/b] Hello, I am quite desesperate because I just wanted to install a new Win 7 on my win partition on macbook pro 2007. It's impossible to boot from an external optical drive to install it. I tried to use refit to boot direct from the cd. I have a bootmgr missing before win can install. I don't know why...It don't see the the win partition maybe ? Moreover, As I have 3 partitions, I cannot use bootcamp (I think it is the reason why..?). If I understand this topic. The solution is 1. to format everything to have only on HFS partition, 2. install a free OSX on it. 3. Use bootcamp to create a win partition. 4. Install win 7 5. Use a partition tool (ipartition for example) to create my exchange FAT partition. This solution appear to be really heavy. Do you have any other easiest solutions. I just want to install a fresh win 7 on this computer. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
