recognize the whole situation automatically and install GRUB without me =
even knowing it.
Is that right?
Perhaps this is how I lost my Windows XP.
I had to go to my PC-support friend, who re-constructed my Windows boot =
loader and master boot record.
Obviously, I couldn't obtain any Windows installation disks with my PC =
because aparently it is ILLEGAL.
What a crap? That is one more reason to go for Ubuntu.
Now I am too scared to do any more Ubuntu installations.
If I take-out my first hard-drive then I won't be able to do dual-boot =
installation.
If I put it back then I won't be able to see Ubuntu.
Is it possible to have dual-boot on one PC with two different Operating =
Systems on separate hard-drives?
Cheers,
Robert
