chrisdarl Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hi there, I followed munky's guide to install Retail Mac OSX, and boot from the EFI partition (containing all my kexts) to leave the OSX installation 'clean' ( http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=127330 ). This worked great, minus the fact I couldn't boot into Windows (without having to keep changing active partitions). So, I looked into the USB Boot-123 method, which I'm using at the moment when I want to boot into Mac OSX. Can the new release of PCEFI_V9 allow me to boot from the EFI partition but give me the option to boot into Windows? Many thanks for your help in advance!

~pcwiz Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 No, netkas posted a comment on his blog saying that it does not work with the EFI partition, only the modified Chameleon in munky's guide can do that.

raggedjagged Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Ahh ok, thank you for your reply :] I did have a look but I obviously missed it. Sit n wait for the new release of Chameleon then When is the new version of Chameleon going to be released? I heard that it will also support booting from the EFI partition out of the box?

MacNutty Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I install Chameleon too but I am unable to understand the difference between Darwin Boot Loader and Chameleon. Can anybody explain me please? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/136762-pcefi_v9-or-chameleon/#findComment-969686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
