    My 10.5.7 is pretty solid, have no reason, desire or inclination to do 10.5.8. I agree with renderingrocks, wait for 10.6, and wait for all the brilliant hackintoshers to write proper kext and drivers for it, when thats all done, then upgrade. Hey If it aint broke...

    mosslack, it worked. I was able to boot into Win7. Now I just need to get my station running properly. I was hoping to be able to use the Gigabyte EasyTune 6 to optimize my system, but it won't work in Win7 64bit. I have memory that is 1066 Mhz, but only showing up as 800Mhz in OSx. I was...

    Hey Mosslack, so I if I screw something up I can still recover using my BOOT-123 disk? So, I can just install the .PKG of Cameleon2, the file I have is "Chameleon-2.0-r431.pkg" its about 1.4mb. I don't have to deal with any .kext or EFI because it doesn't screw up any of my Uinstaller, that is...

    So I got the Vista Bootloader installed via EasyBCD. I was hoping EasyBCD would let me boot into OSx86 on my other drive, but it couldn't. I kept getting "chain booting error" So can I get EasyBCD or the Vista Bootloader to boot into the other drive?

    So I have Windows 7 Installed now on another boot drive. So of course the PC_EFI v9 Chameleon Edition 1.0.12 boot loader doesn't see the Windows 7 drive. What do I need for the loader to see the Windows 7 Drive, if I install Chameleon 2, will my EFI String and my custom kext packages get...

    Does anyone know if I when I upgrade to Chameleon 2 as the Boot loader it will write over my PC_EFI v9 Chameleon Edition 1.0.12 I used with the PCWiz UInstaller? Anyone know if its a clean transition?

    Yeah, I am going to play with this, but I am a bit hesitant about the Chameleon 2.0 RC1, can I use the PC_EFI v9 Chamelion with this method? or just the Chameleon 2.0 RC1?

    Yeah, I think the PEX1394B3 is the 800 Card I am going to go with.. but highspeed USB 2.0 seems ok for now. Found my first problem. 1. My DVD is Pioneer DVR-2910. So, when I am importing CD's into iTunes it goes really fast, goes up to almost 30x import, then after it imports the DVD...

    What about a firewire800 card? Any recommendations, will any MAC pci-e card work? Also I have been reading up on having a dual boot into Vista using the Magic Boot Disc, and the EFI V9 Chameleon Bootloader, people are saying it has to be on the SATA0, which is where my OSx86 drive is...

    Hey Kaido, thanks! yeah, I'll stay away from Chameleon 2. As for installing a PC on another drive. When I go to the bootloader, do I just install the same way I installed OS X? Put in the XP64 disk, say [fe] at the command promptd, then it will boot from the DVD drive, then I will install...
