I have read many duel boot posts around the net, the problem is no-one is doing this. They are all using a different OS as the second option. I have installed two windows 8 on two separate hard drives. (Both are fully activated and legal). I can choose what OS to boot to if I press F8 and bring up the BIOS boot option. I would like the new windows 8 GUI boot selector. I've tried many things to no avail
Some additional info
On the OS's if I go into the system and select the boot tab it only shows one OS not 2
I put in the win disk expecting to get a choice of which HD to work with but it just said Windows 8 so I wouldn't know what disk I would be working on. I was going to try a boot repair on the 2nd installed.
I disconnected the Win 8 upgrade from Vista Hd when installing 2nd then reconnected and activated 2nd with all hd's present.
As far as using them is concerned they work fine, the reason I've done this is I want one for all my computing needs and a second bare bones no frills to run recording studio. Only problem encountered with running is for some reason studio windows 8 can't see my DVD drive, I need to get that sorted and they are both running sweet. First has all software installed.
Any suggestions would be great as Its bugging me
thanks
