JL2002 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Hi! I'm kind of new with this. I have followed an article by lifehacker and I got myself working pc with snow leopard on it http://lifehacker.com/5360150/install-snow...acking-required I got exact same specs as in it, everything works fine. I purchased another hard drive, disconnected macosx one, than installed windows 7 on it, than reconnected mac one. It always gives priority to windows 7 one. Is there a way for me to install Chameleon on windows hard drive, or maybe modify bios settings. How would I go about this ? I apologize for dumb questions, I'm just new at this.

Suzuka Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Go into your bios setup and find the menu Advance Bios Settings (Or something like that) and there should be another menu called Hard Disk Boot Priority. Set the HDD that you installed OS X on to the very first. This is all on my bios, but it should be similar for most Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/189767-dual-booting-windows-7-and-mac-osx-trouble/#findComment-1285977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL2002 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 sounds good, thank you . Will this allow me dual booting though, if mac osx hard drive will be first on the list ? Would it recognize Windows hard drive. I'm not sure, if I'm correct, I think it has modded chameleon bootloader on it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/189767-dual-booting-windows-7-and-mac-osx-trouble/#findComment-1286036 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzuka Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I didn't look at the guide, but I assume you have chameleon installed, if you do, it will show the OS X partition first, and if you press a button, the Windows HD will show up.
