My HDA is installed with Window and SUSE.
Just got a free HD and attached into HDB.

Using SUSE autorepair (inserting Disc 1), SUSE auto detect HDB and added the second Window into the menu.

Tried to boot up by selecting the Window 2 (the SUSE and Window 1 works ok) but instead of Window booting up, it just goes back to the menu.

Looking into grub, comparing what is written for Windows 1 and Windows 2, they are almost the same except the (0,0) and (1,0) which I think is correct for indicating HDA and HDB.

Done several autorepair using SUSE and the result is still the same.

If you want to boot Windows from a second HDD, you need to apply some tricks:

Thanks, will try that.

The only problem with Linux is that it does not support the modem (Aztech DSL500U) that I am using, meaning that I have to switch between Win and Linux :-(

No need for an excuse, I am a dual-booter myself

Thanks for the code, it works!!!

though i do not understand it ... ( a hint, do you think you can spare a little explaination )


as for dual booting, it's real. Seems like there is not driver for the modem that I am using
if only modem manufacturers care to support Linux.

Have a look at the link I provided. It's all about making Windows believe it is on the first harddisk.

Ahhhhhh......

I was too eager to test out your code and actually miss out the link

will check it out , thanks again for the help.
