Supplemental harddrive.

Am planning on adding a secodary SCSI hardrive to the existing 20gb drive., that I have. The old drive has Linux on it. Once, the new drive is added, I am planning on having windows on it.

Firstly, could this be done ? Has anyone build a system with a similar configuration ? What is requried, to have dual boot (from 2 hard drive), with LINUX as the primary OS ?

Let me know if you have further quesitons,
John

Yes it can all be done. You can dual boot Windows and Linux in the same system and have each OS on their own HDD.

When installing the O/S's just select the HDD that you want them to be installed to.

If you going to leave Linux on the first HDD the just install Windows on the 2nd HDD then configure lilo or grub (which ever you use) to pick up the Windows partition.
