In order to use the Chimera/Chameleon bootloader, you MUST have a 1TB or less hard drive, and a 512b instead of a 4k style drive.

It's not possible to make something for the 2 TB drives ?

I'm pretty sure you can just partition the drive so that the Mac partition is 1 TB or less.

The lion partition is only 200 Gb. Still, chimera would not load.

I've done every step indicated, but when i press enter, after typing the command, terminal returns the following error: dd: boot1h: No such file or directory

What can i do ?

I apologise. I left out a couple of key steps in the original post (due to operating on a lack of sleep). I have since updated the procedure. Let me know how you go!

Thanks a lot.

Since you have an nVidia graphics card, can you install Google Chrome and visit Youtube? Does the videos play with Lion?

Unfortunately, I can't do any further testing, as this computer has since been given away to a family member (with Windows 7 installed, as opposed to OS X Lion). However, I'm positive I went to YouTube with Safari and it worked fine. I can't comment on Chrome though.

Aha, now I get it. You're Aussie, hence the povo you built one arvo.
