dual booting XP and Linux

[Washington, CJ (OCTO)]

Fedora Core 5 and Windows XP using two Hard drives.

 

Have another question, I tired and tried to load Linux and XP using two
different Hard Drives.  XP loaded 

Correctly, and it seemed as if Linux did to. I loaded XP on the primary
drive and linux on the slave drive.  I followed the instructions on Fedoras
site on how to dual boot two operating systems and installed grub in the MBR
on hda.  Every time I tried to boot the machine, the MBR was I guess ignored
and linux never booted.  XP kept booting.  So I found a website that
mentioned removing one of the harddrives, installing XP on it, then removing
that harddrive and plugging in the second harddrive as master, install Linux
on that one, then plug in the hard drive with XP as the slave drive.  Then
booting into linux and changing the grub.conf file. 

 

I kind of understand this but can someone give me a sample of what they mean
by adding the XP drive for the dual boot option using Grub.

 

Thanks,

 

C
