now you having booting on usb which is the best way to do it if you have any issues. I would start to install all your needed kexts with kext helper. So you need to look up kexts for your chipset to get ide/sata working. Youll know if you are successfull because all your other drives will appear. Then you would need to boot of the dvd again and make an dmg with disk utility accessable from the menu. Then boot from your usb drive and restore to another partition or drive with disk utility again then install chameleon to that partition and that should be that but when you boot from the new partition boot with -v -f just to refresh the boot cache.
