PsychoSync Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hi Well, here is my problem: I installed OSX on my girlfriend's Thinkpad, it works great! I just need to make it invisible because i know she doen't want to have OSX on her PC. Can i configure the Darwin boot loader to automatically boot windows instead of OSX? Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/51687-darwin-boot-question-please-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahbau Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I know this isn't the answer you're looking for, but if it's her computer, and she doesn't want OS X on it, why not just remove it instead of trying to trick her into believing it's not on there?

xxDriveNxx Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Put back in her windows DVD and do a boot fix. Then the computer will just boot up windows like OSX isn't there. The trouble then lies on how you're going to boot up OSX again in the first place. Not much logic to what you're doing.

Such a 'girl' response. Trickery is what we do best, donchano?

jbrammer Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I have to agree with sarahbau as well, but if you're set on it, you could just change the active partition manually whenever you want to use OSX (from the Windows command prompt), reboot, and then change it back when you're done (from the OSX terminal). Not as handy, but you'll never see a boot screen. I have no idea how you'll keep her from seeing the partition, though.
