Great, do you know if I can pull a Linux drive (boot drive) from another computer and install it as the secondary drive on my other computer and it work in that position?
Thanks Buck
Yes with some twiddling. The fstab will be different.. and you'll need a boot loader that knows that it is there. May be other issues too. And I assume the hardware is enough of a match as to not cause problems. It's not just a plug-and-go thing.

Grub on second drive accessed by another boot loader on primary drive works for me. David
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.
