Hello,

Can I install Chimera to the Partition Boot Sector? My last Hackintoshing attempt went something like this when I booted it up:

Loads Windows Bootloader with two choices: Windows 7 and Mac OS X
If I choose Windows 7 it boots Windows 7.
If I choose Mac OS X then my computer chainloads the Chameleon bootloader. Then within Chameleon I then hit enter, to boot Mac OS X.

Now, I want to install Mac OS X on Windows 8. The problem is that I have heard that Windows 8 has a security feature where it will only boot the Windows 8 bootloader, nothing else. Can somebody help me?
 
I do not have an answer for you question. However why not use OS X as your primary OS and use VMWare Fusion 5.x to load up Windows virtual machines? With your CPU this is a piece of cake. You can even run multiple instances concurrently.

I have been doing this for several years with earlier versions of OS X and Fusion. Today it even works better where I go for weeks without rebooting OS X and the same with the virtual machines. And I give credit where is due, TonyMacX86's great tools make this possible for me.
