Hide a Boot Drive From Chameleon?
« on: January 30, 2011, 07:12:30 AM »
I have 3 bootable drives: OS X, System Reserved (created by windows 7), and my Windows drive.
How can I hide my system reserved drive?
Here's what shows up in diskutil:

   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *1.0 TB     disk0
   1:               Windows_NTFS System Reserved         104.9 MB   disk0s1
   2:               Windows_NTFS                         1.0 TB     disk0s2
/dev/disk1
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *750.2 GB   disk1
   1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk1s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS Snow Leopard            749.8 GB   disk1s2

Don't do that, Windows boots from that partition, if you hide the System Reserved partition you will be unable to boot Windows 7 via the Chameleon GUI.

Instead, you should hide the Windows partition and rename the System Reserved partition.

Use

<key>Hide Partition</key>
<string>hd(x,y)</string> (x,y = drive,partition)

<key>Rename Partition</key>
<string>hd(x,y) Windows</string>

in your /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist.

Please read the docs and the FAQ before asking basic usage questions.

Keep in mind that booting Windows 7 with Chameleon from another hard drive will break Hibernation and possibly S3 sleep as well.
