I'm not sure if my BIOS allows it, but I'd like to be able to choose during boot, which drive I want to use. With dual boot on one hard drive, but I'd like to pick between one or the other hard drive during the boot process, right now, it just picks the one in the first slot in the order. I hate having to enter setup and change the order in order to get into my other hard drive.

You might have an option (for me it's alt+f2) to choose what device you boot from.

It's possible a BIOS update for your computer will add the option to boot to an alternative device without changing the boot order.

I usually just run my fingers back and forth across the F keys during POST and that usually does the trick. If not, it might be DEL
