Chameleon RC4

[mafia_emu]

OK, I have successfully installed chameleon 2.0 rc4, and I wish to hide some of my partitions on boot.

Could anyone tell me what changes I need to make to my com.apple.Boot.plist file to hide my windows 7 and repository partition.

The reason I wish to hide them is because BCD is stored on my vista partition, and repository just contains installation files, music etc.

First, you need to find out the numbers Chameleon actually assigns to your partitions. You can do that by pressing TAB in the boot drive selection screen. Write them down somewhere.

 

Then go in OS X, open your com.apple.boot.plist with a text editor (I do it with TextWrangler), and inside the <dict> region, add the following, replacing the text in red for the partitions you want to hide. Remember to separate them with a single space.

 

<key>Hide Partitions</key>

<string>hd(0,1) hd(2,1) hd(3,1) hd(n,n)</string>

 

Save your plist and reboot.

Thank you, I will try that and report back.

 

I did exactly what you said and saved it to my plist.

Still not getting any results?

Any idea why?

I found my problem. I was trying to edit this file.

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

I needed to edit this file.

/Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist

 

All fixed now. Yay!
