MysticSpirit Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi I just recently purcahsed a HP Pavilion dv9260nr laptop, and it comes with 2 hard drives with 120 GB each. The problem is I installed Kalaways 10.5.1 on my secondary hard drive, since my primary one is already preinstalled with Vista Ultimate 64 bit. I formated my secondary partition as GUID and the install went fine. However after installation, the computer reboots and loads Vista directly without giving me a choice to select my OS. Is it because GUID and MBR don't work together and I should format the secondary HD as MBR instead? I don't think a bootloader would work because its for 1 hard drive seperated into partitions. Need some advice, just started diong this. Thanks. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/82981-how-to-dual-boot-with-2-sata-hard-drives/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

trumpetmic Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 i have an older HP and it wont boot to GUID, but its like two years old¨Have you tried to set the bios so that it boots from the second drive? SticMAN I also have this laptop. As it turns out, the BIOS doesn't provide the option to choose which hard drive to boot from. I know... crazy. What do you think? Any ideas?
