penn10 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 This is my current set up on my DELL Inspiron 530. I got Windows Vista installed on C drive. And I got Mac installed on a separate disk drive on D using Kalyway. Now when I boot the computer, if I don't do anything, it will go straight to Vista. If I want Mac, I need to use Boot Menu (F12) and select the second hard disk. What I would like to do is to add boot option for Mac so I don't have to reply on system boot menu all the time. Also, I'd prefer to make Mac the default option if I don't select one. How do I do this? Do I configure this in my Vista environment? Any help is appreciated! Mac rocks, it's just amazing :-) Thanks!

TomBuntu Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Sorry, I know nothing about Vista. Is there any preferences in the BIOS to select which drive boots frist? My choice is grub. I am running Ubuntu, and had it load up to 4 different operating systems at one point. I think there's grub for dos that might do the trick. Not sure. -Tom Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/130991-dual-boot-configuration-help/#findComment-928968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Richard_2 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Use the vista bootloader and use the chain0 method to boot to macOSX. Set the boot flag to vista partition. I used easy BCD to edit and rename entries for vista bootloader.
