I just installed iATKOS v7 with windows 7 installed before. It was the only partition on the disk besides free space. So I installed it and cannot get it to boot (I think I have to disconnect the USB devices). I booted from windows and get a failed boot message. It asks me to put in my rtm disc, so I do that and try to restore. It says it can't. So I launch the cmd and diskpart to set windows as active, then reboot. And I get the same thing when I boot.
I am using chameleon v2. Sorry, this is typed on an iPhone.
