Chameleon can’t see restored Windows 7 partition on Acer 4741G using iBoot

Hi,

 

I have an Acer Aspire 4741G notebook (CPU: Intel Core i3, GPU: NVIDIA 310M) which bundled a copy of Windows 7 Home Edition. After I finished configure Windows 7, I use Ghost to backup the partition to an external hard drive.

 

After that, I followed Tony's ' [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] + [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]: Install Mac OS X on any Intel-based PC' guide to partition the HDD as GUID type, and successfully installed a retail Snow Leopard 10.6.3, then, I restored the Windows 7 Ghost image to another partition.

 

A version of Chameleon is installed by '[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]' utility in the 200MB EFI partition.

 

However, the Windows 7 NTFS partition is not showed on Chameleon startup UI. I can only see the Mac OS X and another 'DATA' FAT32 partition.

 

But, if I set the NTFS partition to 'Active', Windows 7 will boot without error.

 

Does anyone know how can I let Chameleon see the Win 7 partition?

 

Thanks in advance!

Jeffrey
