I have a working 10.6.3 (iboot + multibeast 1.1.0 method) in a 20gb PATA disk
I booted with the working 20gb disk, formatted guid the 320gb sata disk and used carbon copy cloner 3.3.2 to copy the working install to the 320gb disk.

After a few minutes the cloning process finishes succesfully.

Then I reboot the machine and try to start with the 320gb and it does not start.
Next I booted with iboot supported and selected the 320gb disk and booted OK, but when I run multibeast 2.0 it detects it as an upgrade but fails. I tried fixing permisions from multibeast before the upgrade but it fails again.

Now the question, how can I make the 320gb disk bootable without booting with iboot supported?

I dont want to install everything from scratch again if this is possible.

Thanks!
 
All you need to do is run Chameleon RC4 on the drive- from MultiBeast. Then you should have the proper files. I assume you had an Extra folder on there from before? If so, you're good with just that one selection.
