Hey Guys!

In my Chimera bootloader, I have one OSX Logo for my Hackintosh HD and 3 Windows Logos for my 3 Windows Partitions. The problem is that I only need (and can use to boot) 1 Windows partition. Is there a way to remove the other partitions from my Chimera bootloader?

Greets, Loidlhammer

You'll need to edit your extra/com.apple.Boot.plist.

Here's what my plist looks like:

Code:
   <key>Default Partition</key>
   <string>Macintosh HD</string>
   <key>Hide Partition</key>
   <string>"Win7" "2TB Storage" "FAT32" "2TB External"</string>
   <key>Timeout</key>
   <string>4</string>


If your NTFS drives/partitions don't have names/labels you can add that here in windows:

- Start -> right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage"
- click on "Disk Management" in the right pane.

I'm a little confused now, because my file looks like this:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
   <key>Kernel</key>
   <string>mach_kernel</string>
   <key>Kernel Flags</key>
   <string>arch=i386</string>
   <key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
   <string>Yes</string>
   <key>Timeout</key>
   <string>2</string>
   <key>Legacy Logo</key>
   <string>Yes</string>
   <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
   <string>Yes</string>
</dict>
</plist>


What do I have to do?
Put it in above Timeout?

just add the hide partitons key/string:

<key>Hide Partition</key>
<string>"drive name one" "drive name two"</string>

and change the stuff in the double quotes to the drive names you want to hide.

Thanks,

I was running an install of Snow Leopard for about 6 months and always wanted to get rid of the 2 non-boot drives from Chameleon/Chimera. But I'd learned to live with it. It wasn't until I started messing around to install Lion that I thought I'd attempt to fix this again.

Such a simple solution. Thanks!
