Gutz_Otoole Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Several months ago I built a hackintosh using iAtkos-ML2. Since then I have successfully upgraded the system to 10.9.1 without issues; everything works correctly. This hackintosh also dual-boots Windows 7 on a separate HDD. My problem isn't really a problem, but an annoyance. The iAtkos boot manager screen displays four partitions of which only two are bootable. Is there a configuration file that can be modified to display only the bootable partitions? P.S. I'm posting here because InsanelyMac is generally a much friendly environment than the official iAtkos forum.

rlf Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Modify the file "org.chameleon.Boot.plist" found in the /Extra folder. Add a section like this: <key>Hide Partition</key> <string>partition1;partition2</string> The two partitions you are hiding are separated by a semi-colon and can be identified in one of three ways: hd(x,y) where x is the number of the disk starting with zero and y is the number of the partition starting with 1 like <string>hd(0,3);hd(1,2)</string> OR a UUID - in Disk Utility perform a Get Info on the partition you want to hide and record the UUID number like <string>C59780FD-929A-3962-9BFC-2CFEC82B7B35;4F70CD4D-CEAC-39B2-B64C-CEF12C375F3D</string> OR "name of partition in quotes" like <string>"Win 8";"System Reserved"</string> 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/294884-anybody-here-experienced-with-iatkos-boot-manager/#findComment-1979570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutz_Otoole Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Thank you! I'll try this. I didn't realize iAtkos was a frontend for Chameleon.

3.14r2 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 ...iAtkos was a frontend for Chameleon. iAtkos is a distro. Distro is a pre-patched OS X installation, which would install on a PC without any additional tools (installs jut like Windows). Such an install contain all the necessary (or not so necessary) stuff (bootloader - Chameleon) and modifications (patched kexts and/or additional kexts) needed to install and run OS X on a PC. Chameleon Wizard is more like a frontend (in a sense) for Chameleon.
