Aranius Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hello, I installed Vista, Windows 7 and OSX on my GPT drive, which works, but for cosmetics i've got a problem: When i start my Computer, it loads Chameleon, which gives me the choice between OSX, Vista, Windows 7 and my data-partition. If i choose OSX, it loads, if i choose data or Windows 7, nothing happens (is it possible to hide the data partition for Chameleon?), and when i choose Vista, the Vistabootloader pops up and gives me the choice between Vista and 7... Can someone tell me how to change this, so that i have either Vista with 3 Options or Chameleon where 7 works and Vista boots straight to Vista? (Last one being my favorite) Thanks beforehand, Aranius Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/147915-tripleboot-windows-7-vista-osx-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbetts Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Since you have Vista installed, 7 is automatically added to the available OS's under Vista booting. You'll have to select Vista under the chameleon boot loader, and if you want 7, select it under the vista boot loader.

Aranius Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 I know it's that way, but i want to change it somehow^^ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/147915-tripleboot-windows-7-vista-osx-working/#findComment-1047820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacktrix2006 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I know it's that way, but i want to change it somehow^^ Make Windows 7 Partition as active and boot of Windows 7 DVD and do a bootloader repair that will reinstall the boot loader for Windows 7 then boot off mac dvd without pressing anything to boot of the mac partition and reinstall the EFI boot loader then all shell work!

Aranius Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 If i do that, won't 7 then still be in my Vistaloader? To make 7 active... disk0s1 efi, not used simply there disk0s2 Vista disk0s3 7 disk0s4 Data disk0s5 OSX... if i try fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0, f 5 i get "invalide partition number"... So i dont know which partition exactly is 7 since OSX seems "invalide"... I don't want to have Win7Bootloaders all over my drive, trying to find the right one^^ Chameleon seems to sit on partition 1, but there's nothing else?
