Ok, so I got my new (SATA) drive in the mail. So I...
-Shut down hack
-inserted new drive.
-Rebooted.
-Once in OSX, presented with dialog for unrecognized drive, chose to initialize as per post #1

format your SATA drive using GPT and Mac OS Extended (Journaled), quit disk utility when done.

with a 500G main drive, I chose to partition my new drive (GPT) into 2 500M partitions.. 1 for TimeMachine, and one as a pure clone (or maybe I'll find some other purpose later)
- per suggestion, I downloaded SuperDuper and fired it up... I was all set to use it, but it has a note that says it does not copy some

I wasn't 100% sure what this would mean.. but I decided to go for it.. with the plan being to do the full copy, install Chameleon and then see if I could boot from Clone.. that would be my test.
- after Super Duper ran, I figured I would also do my first Time Machine run. So I let that complete as well.
- Now time to install Chameleon on the 2nd drive.. I followed this guide:
http://forum.voodooprojects.org/inde...pic,649.0.html
My steps were:
Code:
sudo -s
diskutil list
newfs_hfs -v EFI /dev/disk0s1
dir /Volumes/
mkdir /Volumes/EFI
mount_hfs /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/EFI
cd Desktop/hack/Chameleon-2.0-RC4-r684-bin
cd i386/
./fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0
dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s1
cp boot /Volumes/EFI
touch /Volumes/EFI/.fseventsd/no_log
/fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0
cp -r /Extra/* /Volumes/EFI/
umount /Volumes/EFI
rm -rf /Volumes/EFI
I shut down.. rebooted, and selected my Clone drive from the list.. and am posting from that session. So it appears to work. Please feel free to point out anything I could have done differently/better.
