McSkywalker Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Sure, Acronis OS selector. Install it on XP. Set your XP HD from the BIOS as the first HD. There you go.

microlomaniac Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 On most boards I know, it's the F8 key for the boot menu. Works fine for me, btw. (when booting from a separate HD, not partition).

Kelvin KC Chan Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 For me, Intel D945GNT press F2 key to BIOS as photos atteched. Hard disk LA380 for XP; Hitachi HDT72502 for OSX. Just slect which OS you want to boot. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33546-dual-booting-with-2-different-hd/#findComment-238409 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarodsix Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I guess the chain0 method should work for you. For example I placed chain0 onto my internal drive (XP boot.ini) and used it to boot OSX on a USB HDD.
