The Mac Pro (65lb tower) can boot from any one of the many drives installed internally or externally. There is no "special" boot drive.




There is no conflict from having the same version or a different version of Mac OS X on each drive, or having multiple Boot Drives.


Your Mac will attempt to boot from the drive you last specified in System Preferences > Startup Disk.

Hi,

First, thanks for your reply. I think I kind of get what you mean, but not totally yet.

so can i ask you again in another way?

I am using a PC(micrsoft windows) now, and the hard drive i have is a normal sata dirve. so now i want to buy a macbook with "all flash storge". will it be any problem that i transfer my old data from the sata drive to all flash storge?

Thank you!

  1. To transfer from a Windows PC you must connect them via network
  2. You'll see a Select the Source screen similar to the one [pictured in the article], but with instructions to download, install and run the Windows Migration Assistant [on your Windows PC]. Then follow the on-screen instructions. See OS X Lion: About Windows Migration Assistant for details.
