Hello guys..

I'm doing another attempt to install Chameleon boot loader on my computer.

Here the situation:

I have just one hard disk with Linux Mint, Linux Swap Area, Windows 8, Data Partition and OS X Mavericks.

I've installed Mavericks using Niresh's. Now my problem is: How can I install Chameleon on my computer? Because if i use the Chameleon Wizard it give me boot0: error when I turn on my computer. 

I've read that the problem is due to my hard disk that have 4096 byte sectors and so the installer of chameleon cannot write in. So i've followed a guide that suggested me these following steps:

 

1. Install using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]

2. Boot new installation using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] created USB.
3. Run [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and install as normal
4. Reboot system back into OS X installer.
5. Run Disk Utility and unmount the drive you installed OS Lion on.
6. Launch Terminal and execute the following command:



Code:
dd if=/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/disk0s2

7. Exit Terminal
8. Reboot Normally

 

Of course, because I've Maverick already installed, i've started this guide from point 4. I entered the shell, I tried the command but it says me "No such file or directory". So, I rebooted on my Mavericks and went to check the usr folder. That file doesn't exist. So, my problem is: is this because I've installed Mavericks using Niresh and no [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]? Is there a way to fix this? Is there any other way to install Chameleon boot loader on my hard disk with 4k sectors without reinstall Mavericks again? 

 

​Thanks all for help.
