djdubs Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 So the other day I wanted to use carbon copy cloner to copy my windows 7 partition. I found out that was impossible with the current release so I was forced to find an alternative. I use chameleon as my boot loader and discovered a way to clone a windows 7 partition and to use chameleon to load it.
