Ok so i want to be able to dual boot two system operating systems on two different HDD's in my desktop pc...
I have one HDD already a 40GB Samsung with windows xp pro installed...
And a 12GB Western Digital ready to be formatted and have linux installed...
But the problem is i am told i have to figure out how to dual boot the both because i dont want to have both OS's on the same hard disk drive.
Can anyone point me out to an online guide or give me a step by step guide to solving this....
Any help would be great...
I am already in the process of downloading Ubuntu 7.10 if this will be of any help and SystemRescueCD also...
I have downloaded and burnt to disk a free copy of Linux Mandriva off their official website but i cant even figure out how to boot this disk...
Please Help ?
Thanks.
Daniel
