on a thinkpad x240 with win 8.1 (GPT) I installed OS 13.1 in a separate partition on the same SSD with Win 8.1.
(I was impressed, how well that worked)
to boot to OS instead of Win I have to select it via F12 during the boot process.
when trying to change the boot order to boot by default to OS and not to WIn, I had to realize that the bios doesn't allow me to do that.
the list of partitions in the startup menu can not be modified, stating in the bottom "excluded from boot priority"
- is it truly not possible to boot by default to OS?
- did I miss something?
- should win 8.1 have been installed with MBR instead of GPT?
