This is my setiup :


Gigabyte GA-Z68M-D2H


Intel i5 2500K


Radeon HD 5770 1GB


*8GB(2x4GB) Kingston DDR3 1600Mhz


*Samsung 840 EVO SSD


*Samsung 850 PRO SSD


*Seagate Hybrid SSHD


*650 Watt Power Supply


This is my problem:


I am attempting to dual boot Windows 8.1 and Yosemite. I have each OS on different SSDs. Once I install OSX, it runs without any issues that I notice (goes to Sleep and everything). The same goes with Windows 8.1, it runs smoothly after I install it. So each OS works fine when only one SSD is connected to the motherboard, but as soon as I connect both SSDs to the motherboard things go south.


The SSD with OSX has first boot priority so that the Chameleon boot-loader can do it's thing and let me choose which OS to boot into. When I get to the Chameleon boot-loader, I have the option to choose OSX, the partition for the Windows boot-loader, and the Windows 8.1's partition.


-When I choose OSX: it boots. -When I choose the partition for the Windows boot-loader: it crashes at boot, I get the blue screen with the sad face :( and the options to either reset or repair the OS.


Then after that if I try to boot into OSX, it crashes at boot. I get a slow Apple logo load screen then a little crossed out circle thingy over the Apple logo. I don't know where to go from here. Each OS works flawlessly by itself but as soon as I try to dual-boot everything blows up in my face.


Has anybody successfully dual-booted Yosemite and Windows 8.1 with this set up? If so, I could use a handout, please. I hope that the information I’ve included in this post is sufficient. If there is more information about my setup needed, I’d be glad to include whichever detail that is missing.


Thank you in advance
