You can use the windows bootloader to select at startup which system to boot.
Copy the chain0 file from

/usr/standalone/i386/chain0
on your OS X HD to your windows drive's root directory (ie. C:\chain0)
Now boot into windows and add
Code:
C:\chain0="Mac OS X"
to your Windows bootloader.
Go into your BIOS and ensure that your Windows HD is the one that is selected to boot. When you turn the computer on, you should get a menu for
Windows
Mac OS X
You can choose either, and once you select and press enter, it should automatically boot into the desired OS. No other settings required. I've used this method in the past and you can also change the default system to either drive using the windows bootloader. |
Ok, cool, thanks. I will definitely do this if and when I install OS X. Now i just gotta wait for Leo4all to finish downloading. But just one more thing..(sorry for im a newbie at this kind of stuff) How do I insert that code? Or can you give just a little more detail..sorry
