Dual booting mandrake with 2 hard drives.

[javaguy]

Yeh it's easy if you can see the drive that you want to boot first

 

1 setup the hard drive jumpers to the mandrake disk as the master

and the others the slaves

 

2  goto mandrake linux control center and goto the boot loader secten the edit the boot loader and add the drive you wish to dule boot with (name it  )

 

Have fun the end

Okay, I tried this. I have two drives, with Mandrake on the first one. The only thing I care about Winbloze for is a game I have that isn't supported by Cedega. So on my spare drive I made the first partition 20 gig (overkill I know, but who knows what else I may install there), and went into mcc to the boot options. I added an option to boot to /mnt/windows, i.e. /hdb1, where my Windows installation is (I installed it by actually physically disconnecting the drive with Mandrake and temporarily setting the jumper on my other drive to Master just long enough to do the Windows install on the first partition there).

 

So far, so good. I boot, and it presents the option to boot to Winbloze. I select it, and it hangs forever.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks!
