I have Zorin and Win 8 on separate drives. I have it set up in the BIOS with Zorin in the first position so when I turn on the computer it boots to Zorin. I would like to be able to switch to Windows from Zorin and back to Zorin without going into the BIOS. Is there a more seam-less way to do that?
Thx

Boot Menu. i think F12 or F8 then select your drive. i hope it will fix your problem.

It might also be the "Esc" key which it is on my HP Compaq, check your PC manul!.

Thx for the replies but I am able to change drives through the BIOS (F12 on my computer) but I was hoping there was an easier way.
The easyBCD works in the windows environment. Is there a version or something similar that works in the Zorin environment?

The problem comes down to UEFI (or EFI). Someone did write on here (could be wrong!) how to 'inject' EFI into Zorin - if that is possible then I guess it should boot from the GRUB menu but only if EFI is present - this would mean changing Legacy mode in the BIOS to Secure Boot (EFI).
