nate256 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I have 2 hardrives and they are both formated for macs. How can i dual boot with vista (or Triple boot with Xp)? i have a 300 gig and a 110 gig my 110 is just about full so can i make like 2 50 gig partitions on my 300 without losing any of the data on it? how can i do it or what should i do?

BayStCowboy Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I also have two hard drives (500GB each) with XP on one and OSX on the other. Automatically my computer will load up XP since I have that HD as my master drive. When I want to boot into OSX I find it easy to to press the F8 button while my BIOS is loading and select the OSX HD. The good thing is that I have a third drive setup as a backup drive that both XP and OSX can use. Both my XP drives are FAT32 so OSX can recognize them. Makes it easy when I want to swap files back and forth.
