Dual Boot with separate drives?

[MikeyH]

Hi all,

 

I'm hoping someone can help with an uncommon dual-boot configuration please? Basically, I've got Vista installed on disk0 and 10.4.8 installed on disk1. Both work and boot correctly when I swap the boot order in the BIOS.

 

However, I'd like to get a native boot menu (no Acronis please!) configured, but:

 

1 - I can't get OSX to recognise Vista on the other drive as a bootable OS (is there a way to manually add another entry to the "F8 boot" menu?)

 

and/or

 

2 - I can't figure out how to point the osdevice of bcdedit with Vista to a foreign drive, i.e. one that has no drive letter (as it's HFS+).

 

 

Any guidance or suggestions would be most welcome!

 

Thanks,

Mike
