Hi guys, with this method you can create a USB key to boot Chameleon2 RC4, without having available MacOSX. So very convenient for those who approach this world for the first time!
You need a computer with Windows and MacDrive;
Download BooterX2_RC4.rar (http://www.mediafire.com/file/ztlqmwuzmni/BooteX2_RC4.rar) and unzip it in the root of your Windows PC (C:\);
Download Clonezilla Live! ISO (http://www.clonezilla.org/download/sourceforge/stable/iso-zip-files.php) and burn it on a CD;
Insert your USB drive and format it to erase all the content;
Restart your PC and choose to boot from CD Clonezilla Live!;
I recommend: the USB stick must be inserted before turning on the computer!!!
Let's Go

Conclusion and Replacing kext
Now restart Windows with your pen drive plugged in, and change/modify Extra folder with MacDrive .... if you want to update the Chameleon, replace the boot files in the root of the stick;)
Important note of use!
Once you have finished preparing your BooterX2_RC4, restart your computer with inside Mac OSX DVD and BooterX2_RC4 stick;
Choose to boot from USB key;
To start the installation from DVD, you type this string to the menu of the Chameleon 2:
rd=diskXs3 (X denotes the number of DVD drives)
How do I know the number of DVD drives??
Simple! DVD drive is the last unit, so if you have:
4Hardisk + BooterX2_RC4 = disk5
3Hardisk + BooterX2_RC4 = disk4
2Hardisk + BooterX2_RC4 = disk3
1Hardisk + BooterX2_RC4 = disk2
Let me know if it works, BarboneNet:)
