Please could someone help me out here,

I have two problems at the moment.

First problem, Chameleon is listing my xp drive but wont boot it, I just get a flashing cursor.

I thought this might be because it was an ide drive so I have just done a fresh install on a sata drive but still have the same problem.

second problem, I have win7 32 bit and win7 64 bit on separate drives, both are listed but selecting either boots 32 bit.

I always install win7 so as to not end up with a system reserved partition. This morning I did a fresh install of both 32 and 64 allowing the reserved partitions. This show up correctly in Chameleon but guess what? yep, it still boots 32bit.

I am using V2rc4 and have also tried rc5beta but that was the same.

My install of 10.6.4 was retail using boot123 then installing chameleon with kakewalk.

Here are the results of diskutil list.

If anyone can help me I would be very grateful.

Mike

I've traced the Win7 problem down to the "Daz loader" removing the loader from each Win7 results in being able to boot either 64 or 32 so the problem is not with Chameleon.

Just the XP drive to sort out now and then to re-install Ubuntu and see if that shows up.
