dual boot window 7 and Vista on different drives
by williambog » Thu Jan 28, 2010 1:59 am
I was running Vista (64) and order a new drive to install window 7 (64) on when the drive can it did not have an sata cable so installed window 7 on the new drive by removing the cable that supported the vista drive. Now if I want to run window 7 or vista I have to make that drive sata 0. I have gotten a extra cable and both drives are seen by both OS's. I do not want to keep switching the cable to change OS's. Will DualBootPro fix this problem without having to reinstalling any OS. If it can fix this condition which OS should I install DualBootPro on.

The easiest way to fix that is by plugging both HDDs in at the same time & boot off the Windows 7 DVD & choose Repair, instead of install. Then choose Startup repair.
You may need to do this more than once to get it working w/ the boot manager showing up to choose which OS to boot from.
DBP can assist you (among other things) changing the boot menu time & renaming the OSs as they appear in the boot menu.
