Yellowtang Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hi, I currently have a nice working 10.5.8/vista dual boot system using Chameleon 2 bootloader, everything works flawlessly so far (1 SATA HDD, 2 partitions). Now, I would like to update my vista system to windows 7, and by doing this, I assume I will overwrite the bootloader with the windows bootloader. Since then I won´t be able to boot into osx anymore , I don´t see a possibility to restore chameleon.... is that right? So, what would you guys say how to get hands on this?

zhell Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 So, what would you guys say how to get hands on this? Not only before you "upgrade" to 7, but as a general precaution, you should always keep a USB stick with a working and up-to-date hackintosh boot loader handy. As to how to install Chameleon to a USB stick, I'd suggestm trying the GUI installer or if that fails try a search.

Yellowtang Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hi zhell, hopefully no need for the quotation marks ... anything differnt from vista can be considered as an upgrade.. it can´t get worse! So, if I have a working chameleon stick, will it autodect all bootable OSes and give me the option to boot into OSX again even when 7 messed up my MBR during install? Thanks!
