after a couple of days,long hours and pulling my hair, pretty much going insane I finally managed to install OSX 1.5.6 (retail) on my DELL XPS M1730 *hurray*
Now I'm attempting to get chameleon to work so I can dual boot it with my windows 7 (which was already installed before OSX.)
So I've downloaded chameleon 2.0 (installer) with windows and installed it on my mac but then when I reboot (without the 132 boot CD) it will boot straight into windows...
Can anybody tell me what I did wrong ?
specs:
(hardisk are now 2 seperate HD's one MBR-(windows 7) and one GUID -(mac install)

If its a separate disk you should just need to change the HD boot order in the BIOS so you boot from the disk where Chameleon is installed.
Thanks a ton, that worked just fine !
However can I now still create a bootscreen that asks me te select the OS with nice icons ?
(i've seen it like that on youtube)
You dont get the chameleon2 menu? I think it should be active by default when using the installer, maybe you didnt install any themes?
Check the files in /Extra, there should a themes folder there, check the com.apple.Boot.plist file there, maybe the chameleon's config file is wrong?
