RE: Dual Boot Hard Drive Switch

["Mark Marooth" <MMarooth@xxxxxxx>]

I have used GRUB to Boot between 3 hard disks.  On one resided Win200,
another
Win98 and the third Linux.

A bit of a pig to set up but once done, all you need to do is select the OS
that
you want and GRUB does the rest.

I finally disposed of Windoze (Except SWMBO PC) and just edited out the
GRUB
entries I no longer needed.

So, If one of the OS's is to be linux, this would work (Not too sure if
GRUB
would work in an all Windoze environment, probably not me thinks !)

The way I set this up for my Mum when she had lost some software
install
disks on her old hard drive was via the BIOS.  Taught her how to go in
and
flick the BIOS to either NONE or AUTO on the Primary IDE channel
depending
on whether she wanted the new system or old system.  Easy and Cheap if
a
little bit of a pain if doing regularly...teach her to keep track of
her
software disks!!

Subject: Dual Boot Hard Drive Switch

Hello all,

I have a friend that is looking for a hardware dual boot solution.

He wants to run to OS's totally speratly, so when one is running the
other OS on the 2nd HD is inactive. The obvious way to do this would be
via HD caddies but there is not room in his case. So he is looking for
a
hardware solution that will allow him to switch between HD's

Any thoughts

Regards

Ben
