Please someone explain me. How to install Chameleon Boot Loader.

[natzuki]

I'm so sorry for asking this noob question. But I'm newbie for OSX86.

I tried to install Chameleon Boot Loader. (I've to download installer package .pkg form official site)

But I still can't boot Windows XP. When I select to boot Windows XP it'll be show black screen and freeze.

I tried to install Boot Loader to Macintosh HD drive. Did I do something wrong?

(Please see the detail of my drive in attachment picture, Sorry for an inconvenient)

Please, Anybody tell me step by step to install Boot Loader.

(Both of my NTFS drives are Primary drive)

(Both of my Mac partitions are GUID)

(I used iPC 10.5.6 to install OSX86, But I clone from other machine and used EFI V9 to fix it)

...

Thank you everybody so much and sorry for my English, I'm Thai.

You cannot boot XP with current Chameleon when its installed in different drives. Search the forum for workarounds for this limitation (basically you can install Chameleon to a small partition on the same drive as XP or use the boot0 method to boot leopard from XP boot menu).

Thanks to thorazine74. That's my bad news.

But I don't understand why I can boot Windows Server 2008 in different drives.

Is there anyway to boot it?

If no, how can i install OSX86 & Windows XP in same drive. Install XP first?

OK, Thank you everybody so much.

Now i can boot Windows XP by use Boot Loader.

Thank thorazine74 for your advice.

I install Windows XP first and then I create new NTFS partition with Windows Disk Management.

After that I erase NTFS and change to Mac OS X journaled by Mac Disk Utility.

And clone it from other machine.

Thank you again.

Its a Windows XP limitation, it can only boot from the first drive in the system (as they are seen from the BIOS). Vista (and Server 2008 I assume) dont have that limitation.
Any bootmanager has to swap the drive order on-the-fly for being able to boot XP on secondary or higher drivers.
Until Chameleon adds this order swapping feature you would need to put it in the same drive as XP or use a third party bootmanager that do the drive order swapping.
