Hi all,
I just purchased a 2008 Mac Pro a1186 8 core 2.8 ghz. It's running el capitan on an ssd drive and has another hdd drive for storage. I wanted to know if it was possible to put a hdd drive from my pc into the third bay and boot it by holding the alt key and selecting it. I haven't physically tried this yet and was looking for advice because anything I searched brought up the actual partitioning and installing of windows. I had done that on my MacBook pro, but was curious the process of already having an internal hard drive with windows. Any help and advice would be very appreciated. I'm a first time poster but a longtime lurker of these forums, and most of my questions have been answered by simply googling and being lead to the bright minds here.
