The operating system runs from the partition that you install it upon. The
dual boot capabilities are rather rudimentary and don't offer you many
choices.
Buy a third party boot manager program to do what you want. I use System
Commander. Any operating system I boot into is seen as Drive/Partition C: -
no matter where I physically have them installed to.
