Default Dual Boot
Hello, I have 2 disks, 1 has windows 7 and the other one has PC-BSD. I have the windows 7 one because sadly some programs of my work does not run under PC-BSD but well the problem is this:
I installed first windows 7 in one disk and then installed PC-BSD in the other HD.
Now, when I start the machine, the disk with PC-BSD take the control and start to boot, but it never allows me to choose what disk I want to boot.
Any can help me please. Thanks.

I have the same configuration. There is no boot manager installed by PCBSD because in general you choose in the BIOS Boot Menu from which drive the PC boots.

So you can boot not only from one specific drive, but also from USB or another HDD.

When you start your PC your BIOS shows up some keys that you can press to show the Boot Menu (in my BIOS by pressing F11). So you can change one-time the boot drive.

Or you enter the BIOS Configuration (most by pressing DELETE or F2) to change permanent the boot drive.

Go to Bios and select to boot from Windows 7, then use EasyBCD to add a boot loader.





You can find more info in PC-BSD Handbook
