![]() Is it possible to do this without an external CD/DVD drive? I do have an 8GB USB stick and a 200GB USB HD.

![]() Thanks, I got it
![]() Now I'm trying to read up on how to dual boot OSX and Win7 with Chameleon, but the info is all over the place regarding the partitions. I already made a backup image of my OSX install already. |

![]() As long as OS X is on the 2nd partition, DellEFI should work to get Chameleon going. Not sure if it has to be there, since the Chameleon loader is pretty versatile, but I put it on the second partition just in case. Works like a charm!

![]() I have OS X on my first partition and Windows 7 RC1 on my second and it works fine with Chameleon 2.0rc1.

![]() I have followed the guide as closely as possible and have successfully installed XP and OSX 10.5.7. However, neither will boot without using the appropriate boot USB key. Meaning, for Windows to boot, I must use the windows install USB and for OSX, I must use the DellMiniBoot key.
When I turn on the mini and it tries to boot from SSD, it reads: boot0: testing boot0: testing boot0: testing boot0: error_ So, my problem is obviously with the boot. I'm just hoping I don't have to reinstall everything again. Also, I'm not sure if the problem is in the order of the partitions, but it is as follows: 1.WNDWS ~20Gb NTFS 2.EFI ~8Mb unformatted 3.OSXMINI9~37Gb HFS+ Suggestions? |

![]() I've seen that error before but can't remember what caused it. But the more immediate issue is that the OSX partition needs to be partition #2. Try backing up your OSX install, deleting the EFI & OSX partition, and then restoring your OSX install to a new partition. Then rerun DellEFI/NetbookInstaller to reinstall the bootloader.
(You can also try just deleting the EFI partition and rerunning DellEFI/NetbookInstaller but I'm not sure if that would work or not.) Triple Boot: Windows 7 | OSX 10.6 | XP |
