1. Yes, no problem, linux does not care where you boot from. Put the drive in your machine. Boot the Mandrake installer. Let it use the second HD as the place to put its files, It should detect your WinSnooze installation, and set up LILO to boot it as you wish. LILO is the Linux Boot Loader, and it will set up your computer to dual boot both XP and Mandrake. Don't worry, Be Happy, Peace, Love, Linux- Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.
