Dual Boot Linux OS Question

Recommended Posts

I have tried this before with Mandrake and have never been able to get it to work. With Xandros I did succeed. I have 2005 LE installed on one Hdd hda1. I would like to install Mandrake 9.2 on a second Hdd hdb. When setting up the boot loader after clicking "add" it displays "linux-0"_____

"image"______

"root" /dev/hda1

I've never made the correct entries. What would be the correct entries in my case? I know if done wrong I will will lose 2005LE.

Thanks.

Well, your other hard drive is not going to be hda. So, your entry must be hdbx, hdcx, or hddx, (where x is a partition) depending upon the location on the channel. hda is your first drive, your primary master. hda1 is the first partition on that drive.
