narc7 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I just wanted to make sure if I install OSX on a seperate hard drive than my XP and use an OS selector this works fine. I just have to make sure so I don't lose my critical XP data. I am just afraid one or the other will try and do something to the other that ruins one or the other. Thanks!!

jdxxx Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 This works fine. It also works on a second primary partition created in a single HD. Use Acronis Disk Director OS Selector for an easy dual boot setup.

urig-herb Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 This works fine. It also works on a second primary partition created in a single HD. Use Acronis Disk Director OS Selector for an easy dual boot setup. Does it also work with a XP partition at the end of a big harddrive? Like this: 160 GB HD 1st primary: OSX 140 GB 2nd primary: XP 20 GB Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9554-do-osx-1043-and-xp-run-ok-when-i-use-2-hds/#findComment-59510 Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban-panda Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 yeah i've done that before, worked just fine Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9554-do-osx-1043-and-xp-run-ok-when-i-use-2-hds/#findComment-59608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackentangled Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Do OSX 10.4.3 and XP run ok when I use 2 hds? i think that's how it should be ran, by separate physical hd not just partitions. in that way you can be assured that your data is safe on both hd's...
