xnimox Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 First off I am new to this stuff....but here it goes. I have two active drives on my computer right now and want to only have one *the Darwin/OSX partition) so I can choose which OS I want to boot into. 1. I started with only windows 7 2. Made a partition to install OSX on 3. Installation successful able to dual boot Windows 7 and OS X (it would boot straight into Darwin/OS X as active drive through Darwin Boot Loader if I didn't press anything). 4. I went into Disk Management and made my Windows 7 drive active (thinking that I would boot into that first and then give me a choice). It will only boot into Windows 7 without giving me a choice in Darwin like it did before. SO, how do I make only my OSX partition active? Right now it only boots into Windows 7 Can I use something like Easy BCD? Let me know if there are any questions...thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/176443-two-active-partitionsonly-boots-into-windows-7-now/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

xnimox Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 how is the dv2z after install? i want to buy one of these lil guys I really like it. The price just keeps dropping and dropping on it. Great portability, beautiful screen, good sound and graphics. Its what I was expecting in a AMD mobile unit. Apparently its going to be a while to get the graphics card support on OSX, if ever, on my hackintosh project. Of course, I'm doing this just for the fun of it, not to actually become a full mac user.
