I have ME on one of the computers here and it sucks something fierce.
I
had in mind three reasons for using WinME:
1. The new mpg encoding
2. Driver updates so I wouldn't have to search around for them

Greetings on this rainy Tuesday in New Jersey,
Quick question. I am running 7.1 on a 4gig hard drive. I would like to add
another hard drive and install Windows ME on the other one. Can I dual-boot
between two hard drives?? If so, has this created any problems?
Thanks,
Chris Kelly

yes you can, either leave linux W/ LILO or GRUB as a
boot loader on the first hard drive and be sure to ad
WinME to your boot loader and tell it where to find
Windows.or I have seen some people just switch the
hard drive that boots whenever they want to run
Windowsnot very practical but

You CAN dual-boot between two different hard drives. However, Windoze

Kelly,
You can do what you've mentioned and you shouldn't have any trouble at all
in doing so. When I first started using Linux that's very much the way I
did it. I had Windows in one drive and Linux on another. Everything booted
just fine and both OS's were just happy as clams.

I have a PII-233 currently running Win98 on a 10G drive all by its lonesome.
I also have a 4G drive I want to plug in use as my Linux playground. I've
