I have Snow installed with Chameleon RC3, and I was wondering, If i install windows 7 on a different HDD, will it screw up the Chameleon RC3 bootloader and use it's own?

If you want it the safe way, why don't you plug your OS X HD off, while installing Windows and in again once you're done?

OK, and doesn't your BIOS allow to disable one device?

What I would recommend, would be to change the harddrive order, the way round, that the Windows HD is the first and OS X is the second, since I tried 7even RC on a compareable configuration some months ago, without any trouble.

Don't be lazy .... open up the case and disconnect the drive

I have SL and Win & on different drives with Cham 2 RC 3 on the SL drive ... works very well except for sleep in Win 7.
