Hey everyone, I have windows vista and leopard installed on the same hd. However, when darwin bootloader shows, after nine seconds it boots into vista hd(0,2) by default. I want darwin to boot in Leopard (0,1) by default instead after nine seconds. Is there anyway I can change this? Please let me know. thanks in advance.

Thats something I would really like to know too

Winlinmac, can you install XP/Vista on a guid partition table? Just wondered if it was possible?

Unfortuantely, no. =( I'm going to try GRUB sometime later, but just want to hear from roisoft about what he has to say about editing Darwin's bootloader. Will let you know what he says. =)

My system is a special case, (1) internal hd

Ditto I now only have one hard drive.

Indeed I can swap one of three hard drives from my other system, but unfortunately, thats the family machine, that I don't want to touch. I like challenges. lol ;D

You can install XP(64) & Vista (32/64) on a guid partition perfectly.

WinLinMac01 04-11-2008 04:31 PM

64-bit, oh I forgot, but wouldn't you need Leopard 64-bit for that to get the GUID partition setup properly?
