Oracle67 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Solution 1: use F8 (or other key depended of your motherboard) to chose Drive to boot. Solution 2: Acronis OS selector can be installed in Windows.

skyhighmac Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I used acronis and it was very slow. If you can chose which drive to boot from by hitting a key. Changing your primary HD in BIOS works much faster than the acronis os selector Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50493-booting-with-2-drives/#findComment-361310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
