CrAkD Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 is there a way to do this with a version of windows already installed? My computer had 1 hd with Windows 7 and tinyxp dual booting from 1 hard drive. Last night I installed osx to a partition of another hard drive. The steps in this thread dont work because I have to change a bunch of bios settings to get windows or osx to load. So from the mac partition it gets to bootloader shows both of my windows drives but if I select one it starts to load windows and then crashes and restarts. but if I switch the boot drive and change settings like the sata driver then boot windows it works fine.

justin218 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 You can just change the hard drive boot order at boot, it's fairly easy on my gigabyte mobo.
