I used the .raw file for installation and did it sucessfully. When I boot from the usb I am able to boot onto mac but not into my windows 8.
but when I installed chameleon bootloader onto the mac drive I am not able to boot niether mac or windows 8 from it-it has become necessary for me to use the usb's bootloader. I am in a pretty helpless situation because im not able to boot into windows 8 nor make a usb for repairing windows 8
