dannymichel Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I can't seem to get Chameleon working no matter what I do. I tried setting my OS X partition to active in Windows using diskpart using list disk select disk x list partition select partition x active exit exit, but that didnt seem to load chameleon, even after i reinstalled chameleon. then i tried setting it to active in OS X using diskpart list fdisk e dev rdiskx f x write y exit exit, and that didnt work. then i tried turning windows 8 fast restart off, and that didnt work. im out of ideas.

Crabhunter Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I use GParted on a live cd to set the OSX partition flag to boot, I'm not sure why diskpart's active command doesn't do the same thing. Give it a try, works for me. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannymichel Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Haha, I think my using GParted is what messed it up in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 you can try another boot loader, try clover, it may solve your issues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannymichel Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Weirdest thing. I reset everything in the bios to default, flipped the power switch on the power supply and restarted. Chameleon now works. Does this have anything to do with whatever UEFI is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
