thanks again
can you tell me how to install Chameleon on usb in windows 7?

Uh . . . no. But if anybody else can, let me know! See my last post for some ideas on how to get into OSX. I really should convert that .dmg to an .iso, now that I think about it. . . .

hey
i was able to use gparted to mark the mac partition with boot flag
but than the usb i used to make the dellminiboot didn't work
i was happy to get to my windows 7 back
but now I'm still without my old operation systems
can someone tell me what to do
how to i make the dellminiboot work from usb? and than if it will work what i need to do?
i realize that i can't make the Chameleon boot from usb so the only option i have is the dellminiboot?

Why can't you install Chameleon on USB? Is it just that TransMac doesn't work in Win7? Because if it does (or MacDrive, for that matter), you could format a 1gb USB stick with the .dmg from this link and you'd have a Chameleon boot stick. If you can't do that, did you install the DellMiniBoot to USB and use syslinux to make the USB bootable? There is info on how to do this around here, I think.

the transmac way don't work for me i have problem with this software
i have also macdrive installed but this program don't have the "format usb with image" thing it just open up and show my mac drives

Okay, calm down. We'll get through this.

So, here's the DellMiniBoot way:

1. Download the DMB iso file.
2. Download Syslinux.
3. Extract Syslinux to a folder. Rename the folder to something simple like "syslinux". To make this really easy, move the whole folder to your C: drive root directory. (Just open My Computer, double click the C: drive, and drop the folder right in there next to "Windows" and "Program Files".
4. Mount the DMB iso file using something like Daemon Tools Lite. Also plug in your USB key.
5. Open your Start menu, click "Run" and type "cmd" (no quotes), then hit enter.
6. Type "cd .." and hit Enter. Do this again, and you should be at a prompt that just says "C:\>" with a flashing cursor.
7. Type "cd ./syslinux/win32" and hit Enter.
8. Type "syslinux.exe -ma x:" but replace the "x:" with the drive letter of your USB drive. It will not give you any feedback, but you should be ready now.
9. Drag and drop all of the contents of your DMB iso, which is now mounted as a CD in "My Computer," to your USB stick.
10. You're done!
