New system, Chameleon doesn't recognize Win8.1 on separate drive

So I just finished my third hackintosh, first 2 were netbooks.
I built a workstation for me, specs:
Gigabyte GA-Z97X-GAMING 5
i5 4690K
8GB RAM
GTX 9600
3 drives - 2 128GB SSDs and a 1TB WD
CD/DVD slim drive
Quicksilver G4 case (still not finished with that, tight fit for an ATX)

I installed each OS completely separately OS X 10.2.2 on one SSD and Win 8.1 Pro in the other and the big drive I partitioned in half NTFS/HFS.
I started out with just the onboard intel HD4000 and then loaded the Nvidia web drivers for the 9600.

Now I need to resolve my boot problems.
The OSX wouldn't boot with any other drive connected, but I rebuilt the EFI partition with Chameleon (thanks forum), set that drive first in BIOS boot sequence and now it's happy.
However it will only boot into Windows if I change the boot sequence in the BIOS.
Chameleon doesn't see the windows drive out there.
Startup disk says that the windows drive hasn't been blessed and it can't be selected as a boot disk.
None of the posts I've seen on multi boot ever seem to have a problem with Chameleon, but ofter they are on the same drive.

I'd like to be able to switch back and forth with just a boot manager, how can I let Chameleon know about Windows?
Should I use a different boot loader, like rEFIt (used to have a triple boot on my MBP)?

Thanks, Jeff

How many partitions on the Win8 drive? Is there an EFI partition in front of the C:\ NTFS partition?

If there are 4 or more partitions on the Win8, 3 of which are before the Windows partition, then you installed Windows in UEFI mode and cannot use Chimera/Chameleon as a boot loader - you must either re-install Windows in Legacy mode or use Clover as your boot loader.

Thanks for the response.
Below is my disk structure, last one is multibeast on a USB drive (messed up my drivers when I fixed the boot).
Only one partition on the Win8 drive.
I wonder if the problem is the EFI partition on the 1TB HD, disk2?
Not really sure where that came from.

Thanks jeff

You should not be having any problems booting Windows. Have you tried with Chimera installed on your OS X drive instead of Chameleon? Why is it in the EFI partition? Really no need for it there.

I followed these instructions when I couldn't boot into OS X with the other drives attached
http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-help/115818-install-bootloader-extra-efi-partition.html
this did fix the OS X boot problem.

I checked my BIOS and i have it set to Boot Mode: UEFI and Legacy
but I have Storage Boot Option Control set to Legacy first.

I will give Chimera a try, thanks for the help
