Moving this to SLUG (where it should be...) When you install windows on the second hard drive, it will wipe grub off the MBR. You'll need to use a live cd to boot into linux to restore grub to the MBR.
The only difference between the single hard drive and dual hard drive dual boot will be one letter (hdb instead of hda for windows) or one number in the case of grub (hd1, instead of hd0) It's all very simular. On 8/4/06, Alan L Tyree <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I have a friend who has two hard drives. He has Ubuntu on the main one and wants to install Windows on the second. Question is: what does he need to do after installing Windows? What does he need to do to make sure that Grub recognises both systems so that he can choose on startup? Does anyone know a simple How-to for this? The dual boot how-tos that I have found all presume a single hard drive.
