Dual Booting On 2 H/Disks

The_Landlord · 09-26-2005, 09:29 AM

I am currently running Suse 9.3 and wish to install a second hard drive to put xp pro on, my question is how to reconfigure the bootloader after the installation of XP. I can only see one problem and that is that i have no floppy drive so cannot make a boot disk, unless it can be done with a usb memory stick.

Any advice greatly welcomed........

Um, just install XP. It will mangle your boot sector. So pop in the first SuSE-CD, click on install manually, then you are offered a system repair and here you can get a new install of your boot sequence which should also include a stanza for XP (else you can add it manually later)...

Don't forget to create a repair CD for XP first, so you can go back...
