dual boot with 2 Windows

naindejardin · 04-07-2008, 05:55 AM

Hello all

I'm going to install OpenSuse 10.3 64 bits (or maybe the 32bits) on my system (ASUS P5W DH Deluxe)

on one SATA drive i have Windows 2003 (32 bits)
on second SATA drive i have Windows XP SP2 (32 bits)
when i boot, i can choose both systems

i have a third SATA drive on which i want to install Linux. All space will be used for Linux

what must i do to have the capability to choose Windows 2003/XP/Linux at the boot prompt?

Thanks a lot

When you install openSUSE 10.3, you can choose to install GRUB - a boot loader (where you'll be able to choose the os).
I would choose to install GRUB on your third HD.
openSUSE's installation process will take care of the configuration for you. I know it detects XP and probably 2003 too.
Whatever you do, I do *not* recommend using microsoft's boot loader.
