Simey Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 have windows 7 and osx 10.5.8 dual booting on my dell 1525 laptop, same drive, 2 partitions. (windows 7 bootloader + chameleon) had to wipe my windows 7 partition, reinstalled it, and it works fine, but osx is now gone. i can't remember the correct settings to get it back within easy bcd, can someone please help?

Jamesisnotonfire Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Hey, i'd try this out, boot to your retail disk of snow leopard/leopard open up the terminal and make your mac partition default, use this guide here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=22844 Once you set the mac partition to active, you'll boot to the chameleon bootloader where you'll see OSX and also the windows 7 partition. Let me know how it goes James Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/226551-getting-back-osx-after-windows-7-install/#findComment-1519238 Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtopman Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Maybe you fixed it by booting off of the DVD and then reinstalling chameleon?
