yelloguy Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I have a GPT disk with a Chameleon partition, a OSX partition and a Windows partition. I was using only the first two for the last several months. But I needed windows so I just installed Windows 7 on the last partition. After it was done, I went into command prompt and made the Chameleon partition active, hoping to have the Chameleon prompt back again. But I got a blank screen instead. So I booted Windows setup and made the Windows partition active again. I really don't want to do EasyBCD. So the question is which partition is supposed to be active for Chameleon bootloader? Is it the hidden EFI partition? Or the OSX partition? Thanks in advance.

A4VETDI Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 you have to install mac os x after you installed windows. then install chameleon with pc efi and set the mac partition the one it should but from via terminal. Hey. Im in desperate need of help because I dont know what I did so I cant search for it. I think I totally messed up while installing. I have a small unknown partition Vista partition OSX partiton When installing OSX with Iatkos v7 I, for some reason, went to the tool bar at the top of the screen and went to Chameleon installer. Then I installed it on my Vista partition and now when I use the Vista Boot CD that you can download it cant find Vista to fix its boot loader. When I go to command prompt I can use diskpart I can see the partitions but when I try to make the Vista one active it says it cant find a windows installation. Im at a total loss as to what to do. Sorry for hijacking the thread. EDIT: From within OSX and in Disk Utility the partition that used to be called Vista is now callded disk0s2 or something like that. It can not be mounted.
