Urgent help with hdd

[Jam-bob]

mobo: Ga-z77-ds3h

Right, I have my hackintosh set up fine and working however:

I have 2 Sandisk Extreme SSD's (one for windows and the other mac) and a 2 TB media HDD

1'st problem is my Bios only recognises 1 SSD. No HDD and not the other ssd. I cannot change the boot order

2nd is that Windows doesn't recognise and thing bar 1 ssd, just like the bios.

Mountain Lion Recognises both ssd's, but not the hdd.

How can I get chimera to give me the duel booting option. And how can I get the 2TB HDD to be accessed by both osx and windows 7?

thanks

Firstly I do not dual boot, therefor I am possibly not really understanding your problem. There is an explanation of what windows needs to boot which is in this guide. I hope it solves your problem.

1. I have no idea. Is it the mac ssd or windows ssd?
2. This is because windows doesn't recognize mac formatted hard drives.
3. What happens when you press a key while in chimera?
4. To answer your last question. Format it in a format that is both recognized by windows and mac like exFat. Although Fat32 would work, but would have 4GB file size limitation.

When I press a key in chimera I can either boot ino ml, system resources or windows. However windows will not boot from chimera, I have to select it by choosing its ssd on start up

Try booting Windows from the system reserved partition at the Chimera boot screen.
