I have a new Mandrake CD 10.1 Linux and I have XP already on my system. I installed a FAT32 Hard Drive on the Second IDE interface as a Slave since the CDROM is primary. Can I install Linux on that drive and expect it to BOOT up since Windows XP seems to provide a BOOT from any device?

2000-01-21 Thread jangus
Just purchased Macmillan Linux which of course uses Mandrake Linux. It came with partition magic and boot magic. Just wondering how hard it is going to be to set up a dual boot? Do people usually run into any problems creating a new partition on the fly? Thanks, Jason
