Recent machines have BIOS boot menu during start up, before BIOS gives control to hard disk. Older machines give you options in BIOS to setup boot order. Set second hard disk before first and than you can boot Linux. The SDB article seems to be for a single disk, or this is problem with NTFS mentioned here: http://www.enterprisedt.com/publications/dual_boot.html I tested once that kind of boot and it didn't worked. It was also from NTFS, but then I run: grub-install /dev/fd0 that installed grub on floppy and booted for quite some time from floppy. There was no speed problem as on floppy was only boot sector that was looking for the rest of files on hard disk. Windows was able to boot with or without floppy. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
