Hey There,

I finished building my hackintosh last week and this week decided to put windows 8 on it. I made a partition on the same hard drive as I run mavericks and installed windows on it. Now when I boot it won't read my OS X partition. I open up the boot menu and the only thing there is my windows partition, no sign of my OS X one. I've opened up the HDD with a SATA-USB dock on my girlfriends iMac and the partition OS X partition shows up and I can go in to it and everything. No Idea how to fix this, any ideas?

When you installed 8 it overwrote your Chimera boot loader. That's why we highly recommend that
you install WIndows on a separate drive. You'll need to reinstall chimera by booting with Unibeast drive then running Multibeast choosing just the Chimera bootloader for OS X.
