Hi, I've installed Windows 7 on a separate SSD disk and installed Lion with Unibeast Bootable USB stick on a separate SSD disk. I have made the OSX SSD disk primary bootable in BIOS.

However, when I come to the chameleon boot screen where I can choose to boot from either Windows / OS X and I choose to boot windows it fails.

Changing the windows SSD to primary in bios will boot windows fine, so no problem with the windows SSD installation.

IS there something to be done with the chameleon to make it work as intended? My hardware specs is this:
Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 S-1155
Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30Ghz
Sapphire Radeon HD6870 1GB
Corsair SSD disks, 240GB and 120GB

Help would be very appreciated.
 
hi g0m3r78

have you tried installing and running Chameleon Wizard, I found it via osx86 forum after reading about it on a post in this forum, it does install its own themed boot up screen i.e. "the green chameleon" or you can choose a theme from a list in chameleon wizard.

you select your HD setup and hit install, once I moved onto dual boot and now on to triple boot its been plain sailing via the Wizard.

it was an easy solution for my setup hope it works for you

all the best

Select System Reserved icon to boot the Win7, not the NTFS partition icon

Thanks for your reply, I will try your tip when I get home from work.

I used this guide that was specific to the motherboard I use:
