I would like to install Linux on a second HDD (removable) and add a line to my NT boot loader so I can choose to boot from XP Pro or Linux on the removable drive. I have a lot of custom configurations on my Ntloader for XP so I don't want to replace it with GRUB, but I don't mind having NT Loader point to GRUB on the removable drive. The best option will be that I can take a hard drive setup with Linux on another computer and insert it into my removable bay, boot this computer and choose "Linux on Removable Drive" to access the GRUB on the inserted HDD, booting Linux. My XP drive is formatted as NTFS and I don't want Linux to have access to it and I don't care if XP reads the Linux drive or not. My second choice might be that I disconnect my internal drive and install Linux. Then reconnect the XP Drive and set the boot loader to point to Grub on the removable Linux drive. Has anyone done this or am I dreaming? Buck
