Re: [CentOS] SATA Switch
From: Matt lm7...@gmail.com Does anyone know of a front panel SATA switch? I would like to have one drive with 'Windows 7' and another with linux on my PC but do not want them on the same drive. What about grub...? Just tell grub to boot the second OS on the second disk... no? JD ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

There are definitely more elegant ways of doing this, specifically by configuring your bootloader properly. BUT, if you must have a physical mechanism for switching drives, see here: http://www.cooldrives.com/4posaiisw3ba.html For that kind of money, I'd spend a few hours getting (more) intimately familiar with GRUB. :-) --Tim ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] SATA Switch
I know with Ubuntu if it detects Windows is installed it automatically does all of this. Never tried with CentOS because we don't use it as a desktop OS. thanks, -Drew -Original Message- From: centos-boun...@centos.org [mailto:centos-boun...@centos.org] On Behalf Of Tim Nelson Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 10:22 AM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] SATA Switch - Matt lm7...@gmail.com wrote: Does anyone know of a front panel SATA switch?
