mMiniImManN Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I'm just curious, but if you install osx86 first, then vista, would vista recognize another bootable partition and have a boot entry for it? If not, load up the grub boot loader, be easiest and skip each os' boot effects http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviejo Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Search for a free program called EasyBCD, install it on Vista ( Vista must be your boot drive ) launch the program, it have a section to ad new systems, click add and the program is going to detect Mac OS X, you can even change the primary system to boot. Have luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
