I have a little issue with this part of the page linked above:
Things you must know: If you have more then one hard drive then you MUST connect them all during Linux installation (even if you do not want Linux to touch them). When you install windows xp you can remove those hard drive to force windows to be in (C:\) drive, but in Linux if you remove the hard drive/drives and then install Linux. Then once your done installing Linux and you put those hard drive/drives back, Linux will not start again because of the OS directory will be different. You can fix this problem by playing around with the hard drive jumpers (primary, secondary) and the BIOS boot devices, but the end result might not be what your expecting (specially for those who is using windows with Linux).
"IF" your computer has the right equipment you CAN set up different OS's on different drives with all but the one disconnected. That's how mine is set up. 1) Your computer has to have some sort of boot loader outside any drive. Mine has one built into the bios. 2) You have to have SATA drives. Well....you can have one IDE. This only works on the master IDE drive. It won't work with a slave drive. I have two SATA drives and one IDE. I disconnected everything but the first SATA drive and installed OpenSuSE. I disconnect that drive and connected the IDE drive. Onto this I installed Vista. Disconnected this drive and connected the second SATA drive and installed XP. -- Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
