iLevin Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Today I installed a dualboot with Win 7 and OS X SL on the same HDD. I installed OSX first than Win 7. Both boot with my chameleon boot CD, but when I try to install chameleon in OSX it wont load when I restard my MAC/PC. I put my Snow Leopard partition as the active partiton in Win 7 diskpart. But nothing loads after restart. I tried serveral cheamelon version... Please help me, it has to work because it does when I boot with my boot CD. PS: Im using the cartri project for my bios!

Headspin Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Hey bro I see lots of views but no one wants to reply, I would say download macdrive 8 and put the bootloader in via windows. u open macdrive, view the osx partition and copy boot to the partition replacing the old bootfile. Note for the instructions below, I assumed u can use ur bootdisk to get into the mac osx desktop right? set mac partition active using diskpart, select disk 0, list partition, select partition #... I see ur familiar with that. do this before doing the following & if u can get into your osx desktop run the following commands: Diskutil List sudo -s cd ~/Desktop/Chameleon-2.0-RC4-r684-bin make sure the folder contains chameleon in it. fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdiskx where x is the disk number should be rdisk0 if ur dualboot dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdiskxsn where x is the disk # and n is the partition for osx. example: mine is disk0s2 for disk 0 parition number 2. then u MUST copy the "boot" file to the partition manually Do not copy boot0 or boot1h or anything like that... just the plain "boot" file where as when ur writing the commands it is boot0 I attached everything u need below... it is only rc4 but after that u can easily upgrade to whatever version u want. That should right chameleon to the mbr... then U gotta set windows partition active and fix the mbr by doing a repair ONLY AFTER SETTING IT ACTIVE! After that restart, set mac active again and chameleon should be able to boot both windows and mac hopefully.

iLevin Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Thank you very much... it works now! But my problem now is that at the startup osx loads with the help of chameleon. but i would love to get a screen where i can choose between osx and win 7. how to fix that?

Mushishi Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 What version of chameleon do you use because it can no problem boot both windows and osx... also what do your com.apple.Boot.plist contain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
