I just bought a 20 gig Maxtor EIDE HD...
I already have a 8.4 gig Maxtor setup thusly:
Master drive
2 partitions=3 gig for win98, and the rest for Mandrake 7.2
using Partition Magic 5.0 with Boot Magic to boot to the
linux part
I wish to setup the 20 gig...as slave,..to the
8.4 Maxtor (master using (then) win98 alone),...
...the slave 20 gig...running 15 gig of mandrake...
and perhaps..5 gig as a test for other linux OS's...
HOW DO I ACCOMPLISH THIS ???????????
HOW do I use bootmagic...to boot to the new drive?
How do I install grub or lilo...to new drive, running as
slave?
from what I understand...I first must setup and format
the new 20 gig...using MaxBlast Plus boot floppy disk...
I have a Pentium 233 MMX...with the BIOS version
being 1997 Award
