No Default OS and disable auto-boot

[hdogger1]

Hi everyone,

I was just looking into buying a new hard drive and putting windows seven on that and booting from that as well as my lion drive. My question is though when I start my computer it has a little timer thing then it boots to Lion. I know you can change the time out time but is there a way where it doesn't automatically boot. Like it would stop at the bootloader and give me the option if to boot windows seven or lion. I just dont like always have to click a button right when my computer turns in to boot from a different drive.

Also while I am at it is there any recommendations for installing windows 7 on a second drive with the hackintosh or is it pretty straight forward. Thanks you guys are always awesome and helpful.

WRT installing, best thing to do to save each install possibly screwing up the other is to disconnect the other drive when installing.
And WRT cossing an OS, http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=664
Maybe instant menu=yes could be what you need.

As for the timer you want to use instant menu / yes . You can can add it in your boot.plist or just rerun Multibeast with just system utilities checked and the instant menu option and nothing else.
