Windows 7 partition not automatically deteced

[jamesd256]

Hi,

Thanks to the devs for all the hard work.   I really like Chameleon, and I'm determined to get it working so I can base my future efforts around it.

I have a boring noobish problem:

I have Windows 7 and iPC Leopard installed in a single laptop (HP G61 110SA) HDD with a hybrid GPT/MBR partition table (via gptsync). 

I have Chameleon 2 RC4 (also tried RC5 beta) installed in the Leopard partition.  I have done all that active flag juggling and windows repair stuff mentioned here: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,311.0.html among numerous other places.

The situation now is that if I flag the W7 partition active, it boots fine.  If I flag the Leopard partition active, Chameleon loads and shows the Leopard installation, which also boots fine, but it does not detect the Windows 7 partition.  Chameleon detects Windows installations on external USB disks fine.

Currently I get by with having Windows as active and using the iPC installer to boot OS X.

I can't work out why Chameleon doesn't see the W7 partition.  My understanding is that Chameleon now supports booting from non active partitions.  Should I install it to the windows partition?  Any pointers?

Thanks!

I'm curious. Why do you want to stick with leopard. Besides, isn't there such a thing as a mbr patch? I think your hybrid partitioning is the cause of why chameleon isn't detecting your windows installation.
