2 hard disks

[norman]

There was quite a lot of discussion towards the end of December on the
subject of Dualboot 2 drives Ubuntu/Win and, having acquired a new
drive, this is what I did. Both drives where SATA and, therefore, there
was no question of having to set master and slave. I disconnected the
Ubuntu drive, connected up the new drive and installed Win XP. Then,
after reconnecting the Ubuntu drive, made sure that the Ubuntu drive was
hd0 and the XP drive hd1.

The following was than added to /boot/grub/menu.lst right at the very
end after the line:-
 
 ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIS


title              Windows XP
root               (hd1,0)
savedefault
makeactive
map                (hd0) (hd1)
map                (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader        +1

The computer will boot into Ubuntu by default and into XP when Windows
is selected from the boot menu.

I hope that this is of some interest to someone and a Happy New Year to
you all.
