[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1906673, member: 46727"] Welcome to our forums. Nothing new here.... Windows will only install on the primary boot drive and considers the second drive the same as an external one. With a PC it's possible because you can always switch primary drives via the BIOS menu. Since Macs have no BIOS but boot from EFI, the Boot Camp Assistant has no way to switch primary drives. There are work arounds to installing Windows the way you want, but we do not approve or disapprove of them. Do some google searching to find out how. Sorry but we can't be of more assistance with this. [/QUOTE]
