thanx thorazine74. I'll see if i can find EasyBCD v2.0 beta. I think the latest one that i dl is 1.7....something.

it would be nice if i can set to boot from different drive.

would you recommend me setting my bios to boot from vista hdd?

Thorzaine74, i've tried to install easybcd 2.0 beta but i still cannot change the drive for my mac os x.......

i hope there is a way to dual-boot post-installation coz i am not gonna be happy if i have to reinstall mac os x again to get dual-boot.....

thanx.

Could you post a screen shot of your disk management screen, it would help to see how your system is set up.

HI, looking at your management screen it looks ok, although you have 2 active partitions which i would only expect to see 1.
Could you post a few screen shots of easybcd.
