Cbeck527 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I got OS X 10.4.4 running perfectly on my new computer!!! However I have one problem. I was wondering if there is a way to have a boot menu listing both windows and OS X when I turn on my computer. Here is the catch: Windows is on my primary (master) HDD, and OS X is on my secondary (slave) HDD. Is it possible to do that??? thanks in advance, Chris Becker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12392-dual-booting-on-2-disks/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackentangled Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 just use acronis os selector for easy dual booting or you can select your hd in your bios everytime you start your confuzer.
