Refreshing hard drives available

[crabhunter]

Hi, I have spent a lot of time lately re-partitioning my (non-osx) hard drives and reinstalling windows and ubuntu.
Now Chameleon isn't listing all the partitions as it used to.
Is there a way of refreshing the list like you can with Grub2 ie update-grub

Chameleon should autodetect all your bootable (and some non-bootable) partitions.

Make sure you don't have 'hide partition' set in com.apple.Boot.plist.

No partitions are not hidden, since I re-installed windows and the new Ubuntu Chameleon is no longer listing all the partitions as it used to.

do diskutil list from Terminal and post the output here. Maybe add a description of what's on each partition and whether it's supposed to be bootable or not.

Disk0 contains Windows XP and shows up but does not boot (Flashing cursor)
Disk1 contains OSX and boots fine
Disk2 contains Windows7 64bit, this shows as an option but boots 32bit ??
Disk3 partition1 contains Windows7 32bit and boots fine
Disk3 partition3 contain Ubuntu but does not show (although it used to before the last format and re-install)

All os were installed with all the other drives disconected and Ubuntu has grub2 on it's /
I have used easybcd on windows 32bit to add all os which will boot all except osx.

try to boot with "Scan Single Drive" "No" on your boot.plist

No joy there I'm afraid.
I must point out that if I unplug my 32bit drive and then choose 64bit from Chameleon, 64 boots fine but as soon as the 32bit drive is plugged back in choosing either 32 or 64 boots 32.
