Dual Boot Windows 7 and OS X Snow Leopard Using Chameleon Posted by tonymacx86 on Thursday, November 26, 2009Labels: chameleon, Core i5, Core i7, Dual Boot, guide, Mac, OS X, Snow Leopard, Windows 7 Using Chameleon as your bootloader, you can boot an infinite amount of operating systems on your PC. Its simple to use a separate hard drive for each operating system. Install multiple operating systems on separate hard drives. Go to CMOS Setup Utility and choose Advanced BIOS Features. Select Hard Disk Boot Priority. Move your Chameleon OS X hard drive to top of list. Boot into Chameleon and choose your Operating System. The following guide will show you how to put OS X Snow Leopard and Windows 7 on the same hard drive. You can then use Chameleon to select either Snow Leopard or Windows 7 at boot time. Its a bit trickier, as the Windows installer will set itself as the active partition automatically. You have to manually set the OS X partition active at the end of the process. ??UPDATE: The latest MultiBeast will take care of choosing boot0hfs instead of boot0 to automatically boot from hfs partition, even if its inactive. ?STEP 1: PREPARING THE DRIVEFirst thing to do is format and partition the hard drive. When you choose 2 partitions with a GUID Partition Table, OS X will format the drive with 3 partitions. Partition 1 is EFI, Partition 2 will be Snow Leopard and Partition 3 will be Windows 7. The EFI partition is a very small (200mb) hidden partition that holds the OS X bootloader and BIOS information on a real Mac. In a separate guide, Ill show you how to install Chameleon to the EFI partition to leave an OS X install untouched. For now, just know its installed by default and labeled Partition 1. Boot into your existing OS X installation. Open Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility Select your hard drive in the left column. Click the Partition tab Under Volume Scheme: separate your hard drive into 2 Partitions. You can make them any size you want. Click Options..
