jacobisthe Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Hey, I recently cloned snow leopard to a different drive today, becuase the one it was on was not the one I wanted it on. I booted it up a few time on the new drive and it worked like a charm. I decided to go ahead and delete the original snow leopard because I figured that it worked like it was supposed to, then proceed to reboot (I did this just to check that it still worked). At first I got an error because the computer had been booting from the old hard drive, not the new one, and there was no longer a bootloader on the old drive. I changed it to the new drive, and got the same error (I used gparted to check to make sure the boot flags were correct, which they were). I tried booting into windows and using easybcd to get into snow leopard to reinstall chameleon, which didn't work. I then proceeded to boot my leopard install disk and try to install chameleon form that (it had some I could under the alternate boot loaders thing in the customization thing, and that didn't work. Is there an easy way to install chameleon from windows (which I can get into if needed) or linux (I can boot a live CD), or from a CD or flash drive, or is there a bootloader I can use to get into snow leoapard that will work from a CD or flash drive? After that, the only option I have is to waist a couple of hours reinstalling leopard on a different partition and using the boot loader from that to get into snow leopard.

scwhar Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Maybe try empire EFI or what kexts do you need in your chameleon? There maybe a bootcd on here somewhere. I killed a W7 install a while ago by installing bot think for windows, wouldn't go near it again, probably my fault but the documentation for it is a mess.
