LemonFudge Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Hi. Yesterday I installed Kalyway Leopard 10.5.2 on my old computer. In the old computer there are two hard drives: the one that it came with, running Vista, and a smaller on that I installed OS X on. Well since then I have noticed that it is always booting into Leo and I'm not sure how I can get back to Windows (there are some files I need off of it, after I get them I plan on hackintoshing the entire drive :pirate2: ). So how can I dual boot with two different hard drives? I used to use GRUB bootloader to go between Windoze and Linux because I used to have Ubuntu linux on the smaller drive, but I don't know if that will work with Mac or whatever etc etc. So what should I do?

LemonFudge Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 ~bump~ after searching around, I've found info on the Chameleon bootloader. Can this program boot between more than one hard drive? The Darwin bootloader that installed with Kalyway doesn't see my other hdd with Vista.

I am using a similar configuration as you, excet booting between two harddrives with a larger one running Windows 7 and the smaller one running iATKOS v4i. I have had to go into BIOS and change the boot order whenever I want to boot into a different drive. I will keep reading the forums and some outside pages and try to help with a solution. If you come up with one, please let me know. EDIT: After downloading iATKOS v7, I was able to install Chamelon from the Leopard Installer. It has a great GUI (looks similar to Boot Camp) and detected my Windows 7 partition on my second harddrive, as well as my Mac OS partition. Google Search "iATKOS v7 TPB" without quotes.
