Hmm, Chameleon 2.0RC1 isn't very stable as I heard. But you can use a dual-boot using the Win XP bootloader. You need an additional file (CHAIN0) and a modified boot.ini for this.

Stability must depend on Windows version. Installed Chameleon and the Windows 7 partition boots fine if I select it in Chameleon. Yet XP doesn't? Hmmm...maybe more to it than that, though.
