+++ Mike McGranahan [freebsd] [16/12/02 05:06 -0800]: | Hello, | | I would like to know what is the best way to dual boot FreeBSD 4.7 and | Windows XP? I found this information ( | http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/msg.php3?msg_id=7963936&list=151 ) regarding | how to use the Windows XP loader, and this information on GRUB ( | http://www.gnu.org/manual/grub/html_node/Booting.html#Booting ) though there | is no mention of Windows XP. | | I have two hard drives in my system, a 20GB which currently has Windows XP, | and a 10GB which is empty. I was considering making the 10GB drive common | storage for both OS' as FAT32. I would then move my data from the 20GB | drive to the 10GB, partition the 20GB drive and install FreeBSD alongside | Windows XP. Besides setting up the bootloader, would there be any FreeBSD | problems with this configuration? In what ways could I set up dual-booting | for this configuration, and which method is best? | | Alternately, I could just install FreeBSD on the 10GB drive, leaving the | 20GB/Windows XP drive untouched. In what ways can I set up dual-booting for | this alternate configuration, and which method is best? | | Are there any online documents that address this, or would be insightful? | | Thank you for you help. | | Mike McGranahan | | Worst case scenario, I could use the alter the BIOS to control which drive | boots. | | ------------------------------
