My HP ProBook 4540s is now known as my HackBook Pro running Mac OS X Mavericks. It's great! I have close to 100% hardware compatibility and I have a Dlink DWA-171 USB AC WIFI Adaptor for Wireless connectivity.
I have a generic dual booting question and I apologize if it has been asked already. I searched the forums but could not locate the solution...
I have a GUID PT 500GB HDD partitioned like this:
350GB Mac OS X MacOS+J
150GB NTFS Windows 7
I installed Mac OS X Mavericks first, then installed Windows 7.
I believe the problem is: My Windows 7 partition is still marked ACTIVE.
If I attempt to boot from the HDD, the Windows 7 partition is selected by default, and Windows boots.
How do I restore my Mac OS X partition to become active so I can boot into Mac OS X by default?
If I boot from the USB UniBeast 3.0.1 Stick, I am able to select Mac OS X or Windows partitions, and this is what I have been doing for the time being.
Thanks very much
