If you want to be able to boot the Windows 7 partition directly from Chameleon then you will need to install Windows 7 without letting it create the System Reserved partition.
If I am forced to reinstall Windows, here's the procedure I'm thinking might work:
1. Begin fresh install of windows
2. Using Windows Installer, completely erase all partitions on my drive
3. Create a main partition on the drive; Windows will automatically create EFI and System Reserved partitions
4. Delete System Reserved partition and main partition (leave EFI partition in tact)
5. Create a new main partition
6. Format main partition as NTFS
7. Install on main partition
Do you think this will work?
Chameleon however should still present the System Reserved partition in the GUI, and by using Chameleon's boot options you should be able to hide/rename selected partitions of your choice so when they show in the GUI you only see the System Reserved partition but renamed Windows
This would be ideal as a reinstall would not be necessary. Are you saying that Chameleon should list the System Reserved partition even though Chimera doesn't list it? If that's the case, I will gladly install the Chameleon boot loader and just be done with this headache
