Looks neat?
A couple questions.
Can this be installed over Chameleon?
Also it says something about it being able to boot multiple Operating Systems at the same time? Does that mean you can switch between operating systems like with parallels and VMware fusion?
... i know 'm a n00b.
I have Vista x64 on my rdisk0 (MBR) and OSX_Main (10.5.8) / OSX_Test (10.5.8) on my rdisk1 (MBR)
I have Bootthink installed, but i need to use EasyBCD to boot Vista. If i re-install Vista bootloader and set rdisk1 as active, OSX will boot from Bootthink but Vista wont.
It gives me "Bootloader missing" error. -> And if i try to repair it with Vista DVD, it wont do it before i set rdisk0 as active again ?
I would like to have 1 bootloader working, not boot from Vista to OSX with two different loaders. What i did wrong? (besides of that fact that i installed Vista at all to my perfect Hackintosh for upgrading it to Win7 soon as possible...)
