[rhn-users] Installing RH on a second Hard Disk

[Nick Nobbe]

Disk 2 is hdb (maybe). And you want to install your OS (Red Hat, Suse) on this disk. RH will give you an option for the disk. And you want Grub to recognize disk 1 (hypothetically, /dev/hda) as the main disk. That's it. Oh, yes. You should be sure to make a bootable floppy for the new Linux, and use it to test grub.

HTH,
 Nick

  Dear list: 


  I have a machine running Windows2000. I´ve just installed a second hard disk and I´d like to install RH Linux on it from a CD_ROM installation. I don´t like to partitioning my first hard disk because I have many value information here. I have some doubts about the boot loader and with the partitions. Where and how should I install the boot loader in order to choose the operative system (Windows or Linux) when I power-on the machine? 

  How I should to chose the second HD to install the Linux file system without touch the first HD and erase its information? 

  I´ll appreciate your suggestions. 

  Thank you.
