I'll give that a try though! The G520+(plus) is different from the G520 that you mentioned, I think. I’ll give that a try though!

This unfortunately means that if I want to boot into OS X then I have to change the drive boot order in my PC's BIOS. But when I can actually bother, I will add an option to boot OS X into the Boot file on Windows XP or I will use Partition Magic to allow the drive to boot. I was in such a hurry to install OS X that I didn't think much about the booting part (as it was another drive). What I did was clean the drive blank and format it as FAT32 in Partition Magic. I then booted into the OS X DVD and used Disk Utility to format the whole drive to HFS (Mac OS Journaled). I then selected the partition (named APPLE) to install OS X onto.

I was wanting to do this on my Windows machine, and especially since I have two hard drives. Could you possibly tell me how you got it setup, especially on how you setup dual-booting and startup disks. Thanks. Really cool stuff.
