Dual Boot Question


I have a question about dual booting:

Let's say that I have One hard disk with Linux (Fedora Core 2 to be exact) installed on it.

Now let's say I also have a Second hard disk that is blank, and I wish to put Windows XP Pro on it.

If I:

Remove Linux HD
Insert Blank HD
Install Windows onto Blank HD
Set New Windows HD to Slave
Insert my Linux HD as Master

Could I then boot into Linux and add the Windows Hard Drive to the boot menu?

And if so, would it that entry to grub.conf look something like this:

Code:
 title = Windows XP Pro
rootnoverify(1,0)
chainloader +1
Thanks in advance

It would more look like this:

Code:
title xp
hide (hd0,0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
See http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=250425 for more information.
