Ian,
It will work fine. I've done that with my gaming box at home, Win98SE and
RHL 9. I would recommend you blank the HDD before loading if you can.
www.jetico.com has BCWipe, a nice wipe program. If not, it should be ok.

I've done RH9 and Winders98, but on the same disk partitioned. Only problem I run into is Winders freezes up after I've been in RH9 before it. Haven't had time to troubleshoot that, otherwise the setup's grand.

Never done it with RH9 or multiple HDs but I am currently dual booting
Mandrake 9.0 and Win98. I am sure it is simple to do, just when you
are
creating you partitions create a windows partition with a fat
filesystem. and be sure that your boot loader sees the windows share
while installing.

Hello everyone. Here's what I've got. My mom has a very tempermental
PC running Windoze98, and I happen to have a spare Hard Drive laying
around. The HD is out of my iMac, but its a standard ATA66 IDE hard
drive, but with two HFS+ partitions on it. Can I format it with the
RH9 installer and then install RH9 on it?
What I want to do past that is leave in her existing HD and use it
for
just Windows (because she'll still be booting into it from time to
time for some apps that she needs) and have the RH on the other drive
and dual boot. I was thinking that it would be easiest to make the
"new" hard drive the master and put the boot loader and stuff on it,
and make the windows drive the slave, would that work?
Is there anything else I need to know before I start doing this?
