Fail question lol but I need help

Postby livxamlis » Fri Oct 23, 2009 10:05 am

Ok so my netbook has dual boot but I only like to use Windows and not Mac, but everytime I load it up, it automatically loads up on Mac OSx unless I'm there to push F8 within the first 5 seconds and switch to Windows.. Is there possibly any way to change this so that it loads up on Windows instead? Sometimes I forget and I turn it on and leave the room to get something and I come back and it's loaded up on Mac Dx so I have to restart and it's bothersome lol >_<

Anyone can help?

What version do you have ^^? I guess that question goes for the NetBook, Mac, and Windows ^^

I'm not tech savvy at all, but I'm talking to a techy now XDDD;

Wow. Did you set it up with OSX yourself? Until you mentioned that I was about two steps away from asking why you bought a Macbook and wanted to use Windows exclusively.

If we're talking an actual windows-type machine, you should be able to determine (with a little help from google) which part of your computer's partition has the windows OS on it and set it in BIOS to boot from that instead of the OSX partition.

I wasn't aware you could buy an MSI Wind with OSX preinstalled... how did you get this configuration?

eBay :) the seller Frostycomputers makes customized MSI wind laptops for gaming and such. they also have their own website http://www.frostycomputers.com but i bought mine off eBay. i am limited in my knowledge of computers, i only bought mine because my other laptop was broken and it would've cost the same as this one to repair it, so i just bought this instead.

Honestly, if it runs OSX well (not sure if it does) then it's not such a bad idea just to go with that OS. It's fairly user friendly (Drag and drop program install. Drag and drop program uninstall for instance) and pretty idiot proof. Takes care of itself and there aren't many viruses out there for it. Not really a gaming OS but a netbook isn't really a gaming system.
Any luck with the partition thing?

it's just that when i run my browsers on OSX, the screen usually messes up and gets cut off @_@ and it might just be me who's dumb and doesn't know how to fix that lol but i didn't like having half my screen missing. and some of my programs like Messenger wouldn't run on OSX

Look for a program called bootcamp under either operating system. One of the options of this program is to decide which operating system boots up when you turn on the machine. You can also easily switch operating systems through here.
