is it possible to work this on vaio f series laptop?
i really would love to see windows 7 and snow leopard on my laptop working side by side
thanks!!
my spec
i7core
6 ram ddr3
nvidia 330m
chipset- intel dmi host brigde rev 11
south brigde - intel pm55
brand - american megatends inc

ive try a lot of method (single boot yet) from harzard,iboot,efi empire but none works i manage to installed osx and saw the check mark saying it have been intalled but when it reboot
always no os found it the system when i remove the cd,if not i just return to boot cd =(

Maybe the partition scheme is not correct. OSX should be in primary partition for Chameleon to boot.
There are several guides/threads for SL/Leopard with similar hardware to yours that you should review.

i installed it to entirely new hard drive freshly brought from newegg
and i haven't really seen a installation guide for sony vaio f series specifically
my spec is actually very close to new mac book pro 17"
thanks

You used OSX Disk utility to partition/format the new drive?
As for distro, SnowOSX and regular Hazard won't boot on i7. Have you tried iAtkos S3 V2 SL 10.6.3 yet? Would also need some boot options to start.

It's strange about the no os installed.
My F11 (i7 720QM CPU, HM55 chipsets, 310M video) took 5 different distro releases without any problem. However, some did mention about the weird partition scheme that Sony used, so I installed OSX on a fresh hdd.
You may want to try again with S3. At disk utility screen just delete the whole drive, make partition with GUID disk scheme (or MBR to try as I did mine with GUID, win7 like MBR better), then partition/format as you wish, then install OSX with the boot options per my post earlier.
