problem mounting drive

BajaNick · 07-29-2003, 04:38 PM

I need help, I have 2 Hard drives one had windows (I just dumped windows) and one still has RH9 and it was dual booting with grub. I want to install another version of linux or even RH (but i would like to see other version just for info) on the other Hard drive (the one windows was on) and still use grub to dual boot, between RH9 and the other linux version. The drive is partitioned and i can mount it through the console. What should i do next? thanks.

Just run the installatoin for the new version, and specify that you want it to be installed on the old HD. Not sure how it is in the other distro's, but in Slack, you just use fdisk to set up the partitions, and in Mandrake it's all very easy and graphical. The hardest part is probably setting up a bootloader, and that isn't hard at all (at least for lilo... i've never used grub)
