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 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?
