remove the linux disk and connect the new disk, install windblows onto
that. Then connect the win disk as primary slave or secondary
master/slave and put your linux disk back to where it was. boot up
linux and change your /etc/fstab file so that you can mount your
windows partition in linux. I don't really think that this is
necessary, but do it anyway.
now assuming you use LILO, modify the /etc/lilo.conf file to point to
your windows disk, add the foll lines:
other=/dev/hdXX
optional
label=dos
next run /sbin/lilo, reboot and when prompted enter dos and hope for
the best. hdXX is your windblows harddisk, it could be hdb, hdb1, hdc
etc. depending on where your windblows disk is connected.
NOTE!! i have never done this before myself. and what i said seems to
make sense to me, but i cannot be sure. so please be carefull and
backup any impotant data before.
All the best,
Regards,
mario
