Exclamation Can I choose drive while booting??


Hi guys,

I've two HDDs, Win7 installed in one HDD and WIN2000 server installed on another. So can I choose the drive to boot from while booting. One is having four partitions and another two. Win7 is installed in one of the partitions of first four and win server in one of second two. How can I choose the primary hard drive to boot? Is it from BIOS? Each time should i go into the BIOS and make the desired hard drive as primary??? :flu-thinking:

There is a 'select boot device' key.You have to press it during POST.Depends on the motherboard.Mine is f10.Refer the motherboard manual or check the BIOS ,the key might be listed there.

You would need to make the system multi boot. Just google it, else let us know.
