Make Clover&Chameleon bootable USB Flash Disk under OS Windows XP,7,8 and 8.1. Description: BootDisk Utility is intended to make a external bootable USB Flash Disk by installing to it special Data set (MBR, PBR sectors and Data files) of EFI-based Clover bootloader & Chameleon bootloaders. Boot: In the root directory of the boot disk are numbered boot files.

At boot time, for 3 seconds when the flashing line at the top left of the screen, press the corresponding key: boot (Clover 64bit-default) - no key boot2 (Chameleon) - 2 boot3 (Clover 32bit - in the last Clover revisions - not included) - 3 boot6 (Clover 64bit - the same default) - 6 boot7 (that includes BiosBlockIO driver for RAID controllers, JMicron, NForce and other non-Intel SATA/ATA/SCSI etc.) - 7 34,900 downloads.

This Tutorial learns you how to install the Chameleon bootloader on your Mac partition. This may help you when you get b0, boot0 or other errors, when the installer doesn't work. I created it for the people who are new to hackintosh ('noob friendly'). I bolded some pieces in the code section to make it more clear to understand.

Mac

Tip: If your hackintosh doesn't boot anymore, you can follow this tutorial on a real mac / other hackintosh. Open up the Terminal app 2. Use sudo -s to get root privileges. First get the partition / disk where your Mac partition is diskutil list You should see something like this: 4. In this tutorial is the Mac disk disk0s2 5. Extract the Chameleon archive, go inside the i386 folder, and go back to the terminal. To do this, type 'cd ' (space after cd), and drag the i386 folder onto the terminal.

Then hit return. Install boot0 to the MBR: fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/r disk0 7. Install boot1h to the bootsector of your OS X partition: dd if=boot1h of=/dev/r disk0s2 8.

Copy the ‘boot’ file to your root partition: cp boot / Or if it's not your current volume: cp boot /Volumes/volume name 9. Now we will make our partition active. Our disk is disk0, so our code will be: sudo fdisk -e /dev/ disk0 f 2 write y exit It will look like: - For Chameleon 2.0 only - 10. Copy Themes and smbios.plist to your Extra folder. You can some themes in this forum, as well some smbios files. Finally add any kexts you wish to /Extra/Extensions folder like you usually would.

I managed to follow all of the steps (I think), but since I have a pretty severely mangled boot by now, it did not quite work. But that was not really a surprise. Re-installing the OS'es right now. I did have one question about copying the boot file. You say to copy it to the root, so would I just type: cp boot /rdisk0s2 where 0s2=OS X install?

What goes on the other side of that /? Oh, and you certainly imply it, but one should cd to the extracted.pkg files. Silly noobs like me might scratch their head for a minute. Tried this, and got 'fdisk: could not read MBR code: Is a directory' Is not working. That’s because people here usually offering half-resolving solutions, mostly because they think that we all should be familiar with terminal on Mac.

This is ridicules, because most of the people here are actually pure PC users. That’s the reason why we have all this circus here on forum.

However solution is simple for this problem. So you should type cd, then space and then drag and drop in to terminal i386 directory which is placed inside “sym” directory.

Press “enter”. After that you can proceed with step 6.

This should work. At least it is to me. In step 6 running./fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0should not mess with Windows 7 boot.

Do you know what may cause this? This is where I'm stuck as well. Installed Chameleon RC5 (per directions) booted up using GraphicsEnabler=y and it hangs with the apple and loader.

Chameleon

Tried again and forced the resolution and it still hangs during the loading BUT. The apple and loader was showing the correct resolution.! Feel like its is so close. Any suggestions why this is hanging during the load. Tried safe mode as well.

I can reboot from my EFI rebel disk / select HD and then it will boot to the OS but then Im back to the resolution problem. Any suggestion.?
