Oracle67 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 This is the easy way by using an Os selector: Use Acronis Disc Director suite. Install Acronis Os Selector. Make a Boot CD with Acronis (just in case that you mess it).

quixos Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 just an idea, at start up of your computer, there are function keys that might be pressed to allow you to choose one HD or another. choose the HD that you installed OS X on. see if that boots up. if you don't know what key allows such a choice, google for your motherboard information.

Guest Ramm Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 It is probably F12, quixos. But, that only works if you have two HDDs. With partitions, you either need chain0 or a bootloader.
