Cheese N' Pancakes Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hi i need some help with dual booting! i installed osx86 on an 80gb hard drive and it works great audio worked out of the box and so did networking and internet! On a 60gb hard drive i have windows installed. Here is my problem my problem is that i have to physically unplug the drives in my computer to be able to boot one or the other operating system. i want to know how i can dual boot using two hard drives. part of the reason being i really need the space. i mean the documents folders are automatically saved in the same area as the system folders so i don't want to fiddle with things. I have Acronis Disk Director Suite 10 and i tried it but with no avail. please help? Aditionally i am willing to buy whatever software i might need to be able to do this.

sarahbau Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I simply use the motherboard's built-in disk boot selector if I want to boot to a different OS. On mine it's F11, but yours could be something else. It should say when it first turns on something like: "Press DEL to enter setup Press F11 to select boot device" Then you should be able to just select which drive to boot from.

Cheese N' Pancakes Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 my bios only shows boot from ide device or C:/ so it cannot do that. and i cannot update my bios because i don't have a functioning floppy disk drive. i have just discovered something called chain0 but i don't have my install disk anymore.
