I did this recently and was having problems dual booting, luckily a thread appeared on here with just the right answer. Linux is on my second drive, which I told the bios to boot to, rather than the first one, then the following post from Sasa finally got me working.Hi - I was wondering if anyone could help me out on this. I have installed Fedora on a second hard drive so that I could have the option of running Windows or Linux when I boot up. I tried using bootpart to edit the NTLDR to boot linux, but I'm probably doing something wrong, because Linux fails to boot at all. It comes up with a message that linux cannot be found. Is there anybody that knows what to do to help me? Thanks! -Andrew

Try the following change in your grub.conf: ----------- default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Pingo Linux root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-xxx ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-xxx.img title Windows XP Pro map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader +1 makeactive boot ----------- It works nice for me.
