LordV Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Hi, i currently run a windows machine with a 320 gb sata harddrive and a 50gb ide hdd. I want to have the 320gb hdd to have windows and ONLY windows and the 50gb can all be dedicated to the mac. Now how would i go about setting this up and are there any good bootladers that would allow me to choose which OS i want at startup? I would also like it to default to windows if nothing is slected after a set time. Thanks.

LordV Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 Oh and i am willing to take out my sata hardrive and just install to the ide one, but i really dont know how. IF there are any tutorials around and a list of the files i need that would be great.

Nguyen Minh Tuan Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I read somewhere in the forum and peope said that the steps taken are below 1/ Use Acronis Disk Director to format 2nd hard drive (2nd HD) as FAT32 (assuming that 2nd HD consist only one partition) 2/ Make 2nd HD primary and partition active => actually i don't know how to make it 3/ Insert Mac OSX DVD and choose the 2nd HD, format as journalised and go installing 4/ When booting, simply press F8 and your bios will give menu allowing you to choose which hard drive to be booted, choose 2nd HD and that's done Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50722-dual-booting-on-second-harddrive/#findComment-372483 Share on other sites More sharing options...
