Greetings,

I have successfully installed iATKOS v4i on my second hard drive in my laptop. So my main hard drive has Vista, and the other one has Mac. My question is that when I boot, I am wondering how to see a selection screen to then pick which OS to boot into.

Thank you in advance. Specs are HP DV9740US 4GB ram, main hdd 160, second hdd for mac is 250, 2.2Ghz intel core 2

You can use EasyBCD, pretty easy way to add it to vista's bootloader.
follow this thread:

you can do it manually as explained in the thread. All you need is 'chain0'.

EasyBCD really is how the name suggests. A couple of clicks and you're done :)

So the install went good, I used EasyBCD and now see : Vista and Mac to select from on boot, however when I select Mac I can not boot into it, this is the screen it stays at:

use up or down to select startup volume

hd(1,1) MAC

press enter to startup with Darwin/x86 with no options, or you can : type -v and press enter etc etc etc

No matter what I do it does not go past this screen. Any help would be appreciated

Vista on one hard drive, and Mac is installed on a sepparate harddrive, Hp Laptop DV9740US

What kind of formating types did you choose for your two disks? On Windows it will probably be MBR, but what about the Mac-Partition? If it's in GUID, use this GUID(e) ;-)
