Re: Windoze on a second disk
I have windows installed on a second hard drive and modified /boot/grub/menu.lst to enable me to boot either Fedora or windows. I have not had need to use windows but it's there for test purposes and the spare hard drive is good for saving my files to. Make sure you have the latest version of grub installed, a couple of previous versions for F11 did not dual boot. I added this to menu.lst title Other map (hd1) (hd0) map (hd0) (hd1) rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader +1 makeactive boot Roger On 08/29/2009 06:58 AM, Geoffrey Leach wrote: I need to have Windoze on a system that already has Fedora installed (I need the Everest diagnostic tool).
