    Dear rEFInd veterans and author(s):

    First off, thanks to the author for an amazing piece of code. As a Mac user, I love that I can default to the boot selection screen, without holding down the option key.

    However, despite my trying to modify the config file accordingly (scanfor hdbios), I can't get rEFInd to recognize my Windows 7 boot. It is on a separate internal drive. (the volume's name is BOOTCAMP).

    Any ideas on how to remedy this? When I turn on my computer, I'm greeted with rEFInd's pleasing screen... but it only gives me the option to boot into my OSX (Lion, btw).

    Any feedback is appreciated!

    Cheers,
    Gus

    Nothing?

    I even tried to mod the conf file to also scan for /Volumes/BOOTCAMP, and every path within that that I could think would have the boot.... still nothing.

    Could it be because Win7 has the boot info on a separate hidden drive or something like that?

    Cheers

    Not sure mate, but check my thread as developer is replying in that.

    I think I've fixed this bug. The source code is up on the project's git repository, and a test binary build is here:

    http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind-bin-0.4.4.1.zip

    I'd appreciate feedback on whether this version actually works for you, though; I've had to test with bootable optical discs. Thanks.
