I was running Windows Vista, Leopard ( Just used to install snow ), And Snow Leopard Retail 10.6.3 On these partitions :
1. C: Vista - Boot Partition
2. D: Leopard
3. E: Snow - Active Partition
I hated vista and wanted to install 7, Which need the partition to be active so I changed the active partition to C: And Installed 7 Then tried to change the Active Partition Back To Snow And Use Chameleon Bootloader Again But When I restarted to see the effect the computer stuck at "-" Symbol which appear then disappear, I tried to use Empire EFI to load my snow leopard then tried to install chameleon again but i got install failed after many tries, Now temporary the active partition is windows again, Any Ideas ?

@00010Hello again aatco, well it seems that you may need to just wipe the drive clean and start from scratch, install Windows 7 first then Snow Leopard, Then the bootloader will be strait when you install Snow after windows, and if you want you can make a swap NTFS partition in windows, and use NTFS 3G to have read/write access to it. 00010
I already solved it by using the RC3 installer from empire efi cd instead of the rc2 official installer, Thanks.
