audio01 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hi, I would like to know if showing/booting FAT32 volumes is still supported in latest Chameleon releases, because I can't make it work. I tried any possible combination of FAT32 volume type (0x0B / 0x0C), size and even MBR / GUID format disks, and the FAT32 volume/s never show up in the boot selector screen. Looking at Chameleon's theme files and a quick look at the source code (with the minimum programming knowledge I have) seems that it should be supported. Or what would be the point of having FAT32 png icons? Is this a bug or a deprecated feature? Any help welcome! Thank you very much! Cheers!

Rogiervd Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 run this command in cmd; CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS in cmd. Chameleon doesnt work with fat32 from what i read everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audio01 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 I want to boot a legacy OS, in a FAT32 volume that can't be converted. The source code includes references to FAT filesystem, I think this is a bug! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogiervd Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Look in your org.chameleon.plist and look if there is a line called: <key>Hide Partition</key> look under it and see if maybe your Drive/Partition is being hidden by chameleon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audio01 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hi, there's no partition hiding/renaming/etc. keys in org.chameleon.plist. I'm trying Chameleon's latest release, and also some others older releases from 2011. This simple isn't working. Looks like this is an old-time bug. There're other reports, like this one, http://forge.voodoop...eon/issues/212/, or this one http://www.insanelym...2-boot-problem/, but seems that nobody cares. The code for FAT16/32 support is there inside Chameleon, but it looks like it isn't working. I would like Chameleon to show FAT volumes and be able to boot from them, like it used to do in the first versions. If I would like to hide any volume/partition, I would prefer to use the "Hide Partition" key in org.chameleon.plist instead. Any help from any developer? Thank you very much!
