Triodz asked:

I have 2 seperate Hard Drives with 2 different OS’s installed

Main OS – XP Pro and is set as priority boot in BIOS
2nd OS (on a differemt hard drive) – Windows 7 Beta Build 7000 test

I know it doesn’t matter what the OS’s are, but just for info sake and to slake the curiosity of my fellow geeks.

I have tried -

*Gag – only found my recovery partition on the Xp Drive (WTF?) Found Win 7 fine. Even found my third storage disc that doesn’t have an OS, but not the Active XP partition!

*XOSL – Didn’t even install. Tis pretty old.

*GRUB – Can’t even figure this out? I know my sh*t when it comes to PC’s usually, but I am not really sure what to do with this?

*OSL2000 – This worked great, but its shareware (costs). I’m only gonna use this once for a short period probably, so no.

*rEFIt – About to give it a go,but don’t like my chances. Looks very MAC oriented.

So – don’t wanna pay; want an easy no bullcrap install. Normally my curious geeky side likes to explore, but I have a newborn and, being as gorgeous as she is, she likes to discuss political matters between 2 and 4am, so I am rather tired.

Gimme what you got you genius’ you!
I prolly shoulda mentioned that I want to be able to choose which hard drive to be able to boot to during the boot sequence
Okay. So thanks to NOBODY for any help after 4 hours. Excellent. I thought the community was smarter than that.

rEFIt was no good, definitely MAC based. My friend thought it might help.

Bootit worked. Albeit with much struggle as one HDD is on IDE and the other is on SATA. The IDE is picked up as HD0 and that is what Bootit wants to install to. But it works. Costs money… normally. But I am not normal. In many ways.
