The MBR. This will make sure that Grub is the first thing you see upon
booting, so that you can select which OS you want to start.
All in all, I'd recommend this: Make the 40 GB hD the primary master and
the 80 GB HD the primary slave (or better secondary master) on your IDE
bus. First install Windows on the 40 GB thingy, then - after this is
working - install Fedora on the 80 GB drive. Let Grub install itself
into the MBR and everything should work fine.
I did that, but I did a mistake :-(
I've install Win XP on the first HD, then FC3 on the second HD, but when I
replied to install the bootloader, instead of putting it on the MBR of the
FIRST HD, I put it on the MBR of the second one, where Linux is just
installed ;-(
I should have choosen the MBR of the first HD.
Now how do I do erase the MBR on the second HD, then reinstall the boot
loader on the MBR of the first HD ?
I've tried to restart a new install of linux. Then I 've asked to put the
boot loader on the first hd, but it gave me nothing. I guess I should do
that from linux. ??
Boot using the rescue CD, get to the command prompt and then run:
# chroot /mnt/sysimage
# grub-install /dev/hda
