Can't load Lion I have a Windows 7 install and a Lion one. Recently I added a new HFS+ empty partition to my system and since then i can't boot my Lion. I tried recreating my MBR with easybcd, adding new entries etc' but i always get "Chains boot error". If i try to use the EFI option in easybcd i see the chameleon screen on boot but after a few secons i see an error msg: efi_inject_get_devprop_string null trying stringdata and my system restarts. My last try was downloading tboot that i found, renaming it to nst_mac.mbr anf that worked! I'm getting a Non-gui camelion screen that let me choose my OS. So basicly i don't really understand what's going on.. why the EasyBCD EFI crash while other works fine? Also, what ever i tried i couldn't change chameleon settings. I tried changing stuff in Chameleon Preference Pane in Lion but it's like the chameleon version that boots up ignore those settings. Is there a way to change chameleon settings from the chameleon screen itself without actually booting?

I have successfully installed both OS X and Win7 mac os x at the same time. Both are currently working, but I can't boot in to both of them without a my DellEFIBootMaker USB with the OSXDVD install. Now I can no longer boot in to my Win7 after messing around with the DellEFI. I reinstalled the chameleon bootloader which killed my Win7 bootloader, so now only OS X currently works. I had a few questions that I was hoping someone might be able to help me with. 1) Is there a way to fix the my bootloader so that I can get back in to win7? If I can get back in to win7, I can still get in to OS X with my bootable USB, at least then I can attempt to solve the issue. 2) Is there any other bootloader option other than EasyBCD? If there was a way to make the boot screen like when I usb my DellEFIBootMaker USB I would be really happy. That screen looks a lot better than the text boot screen EasyBCD uses. 3) Has anyone had any problems with OS X not booting after installing EasyBCD and adding OS X as a boot option? I'm not quite sure how it works or what to do, so maybe I am missing something or doing something wrong. I tried following the instructions, but they didnt work for me. The way I
