Edwin, In summary I would try this.
1. Install your new hd where you want to be (say for example the 2nd drive on your 2nd IDE cable - this makes it /dev/hdd) 2. Boot off the RH 7.2 CD 3. Choose a new install and use the disk partition menus to install on suitable /dev/hdd paritions 4. When you get to the bit to install Lilo ( I don't think Grub is on 7.2) then choose to install the boot loader to a floppy and /dev/hdd 5. Reboot and use the floppy to load (hopefully) RH7.2 off your new drive 6. Now look in /etc/lilo.conf and find the appropriate boot settings 7. Now boot your Fedora system and edit /etc/grub.conf. Add a new menu entry with the correctly munged (for grub) version of the settings from RH7.2 8. Reboot again and hopefully Grub will have the additional entry to allow you to boot RH7.2 Good luck (no guarantees ;-) ) Martin Visser ,CISSP Network and Security Consultant Technology & Infrastructure - Consulting & Integration HP Services 3 Richardson Place North Ryde, Sydney NSW 2113, Australia Phone: +61-2-9022-1670��� Mobile: +61-411-254-513 Fax: +61-2-9022-1800���� E-mail: martin.visserAThp.com > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edwin Humphries > Sent: Friday, 7 May 2004 12:18 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [SLUG] Triple Boot: XP, Fedora & RH7.2 > > I currently have a dual boot machine with WinXP and fedora - > works fine with GRUB as the bootloader. > > I need to add a second hard disk with a RedHat 7.2-based > application, and add this to the Grub menu. > > How do I do that?
