lautzki Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Hello, I recently installed Windows 7 on the same HDD my OS X Mavericks is on, different partition though of course. It was only after the installation that I realized I'm going to lose my OS X boot. Facts: - I have OS X Mavericks 10.9.0 - Chimera bootloader - Operation systems on the same HDD, but different partitions Is there a way out of this? Could I just install Chameleon in Windows and it would work?

MacUser2525 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Boot with your installer that was used originally select the OSX on the HD as source to boot from once into your OSX install re-install the boot loader you want to use. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300912-solved-os-x-boot-lost-after-windows-install-how-to-boot-back/#findComment-2061254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertX Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 ...just a thought, installing windows may have reset the active partition...in windows, see if you can set the mac partition active again...i can't recall if windows will see the partition if it doesn't have a drive letter...
