After using Fedora 17 on one drive and Win7 on another drive and using GRUB2 to set-up dual boot all I can say is wow to the simplicity of it. I would suggest purchasing a third smaller drive. 1TB - Win7 1TB - Centos/SL 500GB - Fedora 17 Install each OS with just the one drive in the system. Then place all drives back into the machine and ensure it boots to F17. Now review this page... http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2 Key steps are... grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg grep ^menuentry /boot/grub2/grub.cfg | cut -d "'" -f2 grub2-set-default <menu entry title> Just my 2 cents (plus the price of the hard drive)
