[QUOTE="goodcoldfun, post: 1517856, member: 302946"] Hello, I am migrating my parents to my old MacPro running 10.5. They were previously using a Dell Inspiron. I thought that installing the drive in the MacPro would create a startup disk for them that would then be bootable from System Preferences, but while the drive is recognized, it is not an eligible startup drive. I've never used Windows on a Mac before, and I am looking for the easiest way to get the drive to be bootable. Thoughts? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
