Any ideas? Does a Windows 7 reinstall somehow affect Chameleon?

It won't solve the problem. The OSX partition won't boot regardless of which bootloader I use. Besides, I prefer Chameleon as I had before. Any idea why it isn't working anymore?

I just reinstalled Chameleon using the iAtkos install disc and it works fine again.
