Chimera Hide Partitions question

[jaspreets]

I have the following drives:

hackint0sh:~ Jaspreet$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *120.0 GB   disk0
   1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk0s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS Lion                    119.7 GB   disk0s2
/dev/disk1
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *128.0 GB   disk1

   2:               Windows_NTFS Windows                 127.9 GB   disk1s2
/dev/disk2
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *2.0 TB     disk2
   1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk2s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS OSX_Storage             2.0 TB     disk2s2
/dev/disk3
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *3.0 TB     disk3
   1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk3s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS Time Machine            3.0 TB     disk3s2
/dev/disk4
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *2.0 TB     disk4
   1:               Windows_NTFS Win_Storage             2.0 TB     disk4s1

I was trying to hide them as listed on http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=168&t=27595

This is what I wrote in my boot.plist

<dict>
	<key>Kernel</key>
	<string>mach_kernel</string>
	<key>Kernel Flags</key>
	<string>npci=0x2000</string>
	<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>Timeout</key>
	<string>5</string>
	<key>Legacy Logo</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
 	<key>GenerateCStates</key>
        <string>Yes</string>
        <key>GeneratePStates</key>
        <string>Yes</string>
	<key>Hide Partition</key>
	<string>hd(0,2) hd(4,0) hd(4,1)</string>
   <key>Instant Menu</key>
   <string>Yes</string>
</dict>
</plist>

however, the drives keep "showing up" even though I have

<key>Hide Partition</key>
<string>hd(0,2) hd(4,0) hd(4,1)</string>


Follow up question to that... when I do select boot, I actually pick System Reserved because if I pick my Windows Drive, it says missing bootmgr... so, my question is, how do I hide the other drives that I don't want shown as well as "rename" System reserved to just Windows (for the purposes of the Chimera bootloader).

Thanks,

For renaming a partition, try this, from http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/chameleon/source/tree/853/branches/Chimera/doc/BootHelp.txt:

"Rename Partition" Rename partition(s) for the boot menu.
59 =partition <alias> Where partition is hd(x,y), UUID or label enclosed?
60 [;partition2 <alias2> in quotes. The alias can optionally be quoted too.
61 ...]

Why are you trying to hide the OS X partition - hd(0,2) - it won't work.

<key>Hide Partition</key>
<string>hd(0),2 hd(4,0) hd(4,1)</string>

If using the drive number/partition number doesn't work try using names enclosed in quotes

<key>Hide Partition</key>
<string>"OS X Data" "Windows" "Windows Data"</string>

Make sure the names in quote are exactly like what you see in diskutil list.

if you don't like System Reserved, try

<key>Rename Partition</key>
<string>"System Reserved" "Win7"</string>

or whatever you want to call it if Win7 isn't suitable for you.
