Ok so, I was going into Windows 7 after using Snow leopard, and installed a theme, but modded explorer.exe. Little did I know it was a 32 bit mod and I had a 64 bit Win 7. I reboot only to find it wont boot. I put in the DVD, do a repair, and it AUTO does a startup repair, NO!!! I boot into OSX, and Boot errors. No fix! I had snow leopard and installing a regular Chameleon RC1 from a disk wouldn't work.
Luckily, 10 minutes before Windows committed the crime of "Start Up repair", I use Carbon Copy Cloner to back up Snow Leopard (Full Disk image) I remembered that, and proceeded to install Leopard iPC to install Chameleon RC1 with PCEFI, all turning out a bit rough, booting into Snow Leopard backup (slow, small HDD) and proceeded to Clone it to the Fast 1TB HDD I have. After all this, it wouldn't boot. Kernel panic. Turns out every kext I had in E/E FAILED! I had to reinstall all 5 of them, and its all working! And faster then ever! With all my settings and applications I had before.
Now thats a great ending, what do you think of my story?
