Two drives??


Well I got XP and Redhat7.3 to co-exist on the same computer with two
physical drives. These instructions came from your website for a single
drive installation. The link was "I used grub to dualboot and it was even
easier than this on 05-08-2002" So I imagine it works both ways.

First...what I did was install xp first on the first C:(NTFS-drive). I did
not partition this drive as I was just testing this installation, but I
don't see why more partitions would make a difference.

Second...using grub I installed Redhat7.3,letting linux automatically
partition the drive, on second physical drive. I did install into the Master
Boot Record.

When both OS's were installed I rebooted and windows was not an option so I
continued into Linux. I then did a find file looking for 'grub.conf'. I then
edited this file with the following lines:

title WindowsXP
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

These lines are the ones someone else sent you so don't give me any credit
here but it does work.

I rebooted and now I can choose between windowsXP or Redhat 7.3

Thanks Again,
