I've assumed you have a Windows 8 /8.

1 dvd OR USB and a Lion/ML/Mavericks DVD OR

USB (Niresh Distro's
1. Install Windows 8.1, while in the install phase, Partition 2 disks, 1 for Win
dows 8.1 and 1 for Mavericks
2. After installing windows 8.1 Insert Maverick installer media and install
3. While in the Install Phase, Create a new partition with the disk utility(the
one you didnt use for windows) and format it mac journaled. install Mavericks an
d boot to desktop
3a. if you didn't install a Bootloader to disk, use chameleon and install it now
. it will install as an application. or if it will not installed then boot with
your installation Media .

4. Now you cannot boot into windows 8.1 No problem

4a. Reboot and insert the windows 8.1 dvd drive or USB

erved partition(very important, its around 350 MB)active<----set selected parti

Click mac hard drive on desktop OR finder
>extras>org.chameleon.boot.plist <---copy this file to desktop AND make a back u
p copy somewhere
EDIT the org.chameleon.boot.plist in the desktop BY right clicking and opening w
ith text edit application
add
Rename Partition"System Reserved" Windows 8.1
to hide useless windows 8.1 hard drive
Hide Partition"Windows"
once that is done, save it and copy it back to where the original org.chameleon.boo
t.plist is on. once that is done
REBOOT! and you can down beautifully dual boot and select between windows 8.1 an
d Mavericks
you got it working

Tips:::before you proceed OS X installation, use fdisk from Terminal to mark you
r target partition for OS X as active. It doesn't break your Win7 and at the sam
e time you can continue using Chameleon to boot your machine.
