mschlott Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I have my PC set up to dual boot Vista X64 and OS-X 10.5.2. This is a kalyway 10.5.1 install using MBR EFI. The active partition is partition 1 which is my vista install. I used bcdedit to get it to multiboot to to Vista or OS-X. When I select OS-X, I get the Darwin boot menu. If I do nothing, it will boot back to the windows boot loader then boot windows. If I hit F8, I see the folowing. hd(0,1) Windows NTFS hd(0,2) OS-X I can arrow down to OS-X and hit enter and the system will boot OS-X. How can I modify which OS Darwin uses for the default OS? I have read where others say it is impossible to get Darwin to boot Vista by default. For me, I can not get it to not boot Vista by default. Any help? mike Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/92228-darwin-boots-vista-as-default-os-how-do-i-make-it-boot-os-x-by-default/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie11c Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Try using fdisk to mark your OSX partition active again, that should make it the default in Darwin.
