Chameleon install question


5 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Since I destroyed my windows bootloader I can only boot from my usb hd (where Chameleon is installed)

I tried to install Chameleon on my Snow Leopard partition (active) but it did not boot.

Can someone tell me where I have to install Chameleon?

 

/dev/disk0

Hi,

 

you did right, install on Snow Leopard partition. Maybe you forgot to install the MBR part. How did you install Chameleon?

You are using MBR, I can tell by the quote in your first post.

 

If you want to use Chameleon as the main bootloader you have to install it to the MBR. Check this topic about installation

In step 6 use the fdisk included in the package, it should not mess with Windows boot

./fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0
