i followed your guide and did what you said but for some reason it would not boot the cd. Not sure if i did something wrong but it keeps asking to boot from cd and then it goes straight into windows. i have even tried unhooking all my drives but no luck.

worse thing that can happen is the DVD will not boot and stall but for you it's booting windows? hhhmm im sure something is wrong there, watch this Youtube video.

anyone else can confirm that this works aside from me or this guide is a total failure and should be locked and deleted

Thank i will do. I have i have windows installed on a separte hard drive and since it could not boot to DVD then it went to my second boot device which is my windows hdd

I made a boot USB but in one stage it says no cd found on druve 1, on other stage after chameleon is loaded there is no DVD icon only HD

I am with Gigabyte EP43-DS3, curently use 10.5.8 retail with Boot 132,
I have DVD retail 10.6 but I can't make from BIOS to see DVD drive in Chameleon boot screen.

Can any one give me advise how to set up the BIOS so I can use DVD drive

my ES2l has 4 sata ports (sataII 0-3), the first time i tried this guide my DVD drive is on the 2nd port (port #1 master) and it's also not showing so i tried it on the 3rd (port #2) and 4th (#3) which is slave and it work. So for all who has a dvd drive not showing try changing the sata ports.

im looking for one soul who has made this guide to work haha

a quote again from netkas blog, im using Enhanced SATA in my Bios and On chip PCI IDE is disabled

" PC EFI is a bootloader based on chameleon2 source code, v 10.3 brings one new feature, a cd/dvd-rom reading driver for ide mode(compatibe/legacy and enchanced/native).
The driver based on mindrvr from ata-atapi.com.
it doesn’t work with ahci(it will not detect dvd drives in ahci mode, hard drives still work fine).
it’s beta, so its only for testing, driver may not work for you.
known issues: sata ports 5-6 doesnt work, so I disabled scanning of those. "

hi
setting bios to ide mode doesnt solve any problem, nothing shows up

Installed successful via this method,
Right now I'm using USB boot to Snow Leopard, could anyone tell me how can i change boot from harddisk? Thanks all

finally! 124 download attachment and counting and only 2 souls can confirm it works? please dont tell me you also have the same board as mine which is G31M-ES2L?

F12? boot.plist default HD partition? can you elaborate? didnt quite get what you wanna do.
